Energetic Capabilities of N-Dinitro- and N-Trinitromethyl Derivatives of Nitroazoles as Composite Solid Propellant Components

In this paper, we study the energetic capabilities of four N-dinitro- and N-trinitromethyl derivatives of nitroazoles described in the literature as potential components of composite solid propellants. Using the thermodynamic calculations, some of the considered compounds are shown to have good potential for the creation of solid propellants with improved energy characteristics based on them. The quantitative dependences of the energetic parameters of the fuel on the properties of the studied oxidizer, the aluminum fraction in the composition, and the type and the content of binder are established.
