Novel energetic polymers and their blends

进入新世纪，能源储存和释放、安全问题、空间进入问题成为新的热点。聚合物基材料在解决这些问题的新技术开发中发挥着重要作用。高能聚合物被定义为在其短分解时间内产生大量能量的聚合物，通常是由于在其主链上存在叠氮化物和硝基。它们不是炸药材料，但它们可以用作固体推进剂、炸药配方和爆炸驱动安全装置的气体发生器成分的粘合剂或核心部件。通常，高能聚合物与氧化剂和固体燃料混合，以调整其能量释放过程。

The turn of this new century has seen energy storage and release, security issues and access to space emerged as new preoccupations.   Polymer based materials have an important role to play in the novel technologies being developed to address these concerns. Energetic polymers are defined as polymers that produce a significant amount of energy during their short decomposition time, often owing to the presence of azide and nitro groups on their backbone. They are not explosives materials per say, but they find use as binders or core components in solid propellants, explosives formulations, and gas generator compositions for explosive actuated safety devices. Usually, energetic polymers are mixed with oxidizers and solid fuels to tailor their energy release process.
