Polyethylene hydrazine perchlorates

In evaluating the energetics of oxidizers, it is apparent that the perchlorate salts are more desirable than nitrate salts. Therefore one would expect that attempts would be made to incorporate the perchlorate group into binder structures. The study of perchlorate esters was not pursued when it was found that simple model compounds obtained from alcohols and perchloric acid were excessively shock sensitive. However, when the C104 group existed in ionic or salt-like form, these materials were found to be far less sensitive. Bell Aerosystems Corp., in conjunction with the Food Machinery Corp. prepared the polyethylene hydrazine perchlorates.
