Energetic Binders, Plasticizers and Oxidizers

As discussed under explosives and propellants, a number of energetic binders GAP, NHTPB, poly(NiMMO), poly(GlyN), poly(BAMO), poly(AMMO) and BAMO-AMMO copolymers etc. have been reported in the recent past and are at various stages of development and introduction for bulk production of explosives and propellants for various applications. These polymeric binders are reasonably stable and are of established compatibility with a wide range of ingredients used for explosive and propellant formulations. The data on their explosive properties impact, friction and electric spark sensitivities, indicate that it is safe to handle these materials. However, there appears to be no report in the open literature on 

6% coupled with very low impact sensitivity, holds tremendous potential as an oxidizer for pyrotechnic formulations [129] and needs evaluation for this purpose.
