He claims to have detected terminal unsaturation in polymers of 2-nitropropene27), although Vofsi and Katchalsky24 state in their paper that nitroethylene polymers are almost certainly wholly saturated molecules. 

Nitroethylene polymer is a white amorphous solid which does not melt but decomposes on healing above 15°C. 

Nitroethylene polymer is a white amorphous solid which does tun melt. According to [6 it decomposed slowly at 75 C. After 2 hours of maintaining this temperature it ignited. Wlien heated to I00 ( it deflagrated with a sooty smoke in 23 min. On a hot plate of 200°C it decomposed without explosion. Tlie sensitivity to impact is of the order of TNT. The strength (in ballistic mortar) constitutes only 29% of that of TNT. Hungarian authors (I5 reported the data for polynitrocthylenc as follows ...
