Energetic silicones: synthesis and characterization of pentaoxadiazole-PDMS copolymers

Standing at the forefront of energetics research is the exploration of energetic binders. To avoid the traditionally used sensitive explosophores, we present the first reported energetic silicone polymers synthesized from a penta-oxadiazole monomer. These polymers exhibit properties that lie between...

Description
Summary:Standing at the forefront of energetics research is the exploration of energetic binders. To avoid the traditionally used sensitive explosophores, we present the first reported energetic silicone polymers synthesized from a penta-oxadiazole monomer. These polymers exhibit properties that lie between, or exceed, the thermal properties of inert and commonly used energetic binders. Standing at the forefront of energetics research is the exploration of energetic binders.
