Synthesis and characterization of novel nitrofurazanyl ethers as potential energetic plasticizers.

ABSTRACT: Energetic plasticizers are used to improve the mechanical properties of advanced energetic formulations while increasing the overall energy content. Although nitro-1,2,5-oxadiazoles (nitrofurazans) possess excellent energetic properties such as a favorable oxygen balance and high heat of formation, their use as plasticizers has received little attention in the scientific literature. Four nitrofurazanyl ethers were synthesized by substitution of dinitrofurazan with linear alkoxides. The synthesized compounds were extensively analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectroscopy, mechanical sensitivity test, ¹H nuclear magnetic reson
