Recent interest has turned to nitrated cyclodextrin polymers (poly-CDN) for potential use in insensitive and minimum smoke producing propellants. The synthesis, purification and characterization of the following polymers was studied in detail ... 

There are a number of inert binders such as polyester, epoxy, polysulfide, polyurethane which have been reported as binders for composite propellants and plastic bonded explosives (PBXs). At present, hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is regarded as the state-of-the-art workhorse binder for such applications. However, the recent trend is to use energetic binders such as poly [3,3-bis(azidomethyl oxetane)] [poly(BAMO)], poly (3-azidomethyl-3-methyl oxetane) [poly(AMMO)], PNP, GAP diol and triol, nitrated HTPB(NHTPB), poly(NiMMO), poly(GlyN) and nitrated cyclodextrin polymers poly(CDN) for PBXs and composite propellants in order to get better performance.

The second strategy by which metal nanoparticles can be stabilized is the fixation of molecules by the particles surface atoms. The protecting molecules may consist of polymers, surfactants, or ligands, as they are known from traditional complex chemistry. The use of polymers is for their amphiphilic natiue, that is, they have not only to coordinate to the metal particle, but must simultaneously be solvated by the surrounding fluid. Gelatin, agar, cyclodextrins, cellulose acetate, and cellulose nitrate are used as well as synthetic polymers. Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and poly(vinylalcohol) have turned out to work perfectly in this respect.
