Abstract

BTTN and TMETN are representative energetic plasticizers used for various propellants. However these compounds are sensitive relatively. So, in order to develop insensitive energetic plasticizer, this study attempted to synthesize derivative of triazole, 4,5-bis(azidomethyl)-(2-methoxyethyl)-1,2,3- triazole (DAMETR). Also, the prepared compound was characterized by NMR, IR spectroscopy, and physicochemical properties such as glass transition temperature, melting point, decomposition temperature, density, viscosity and impact sensitivity. In addition, the heats of formation (${\Delta}H_f$) and detonation properties (pressure and velocity) of DAMETR were calculated using Gaussian 09 and EXPLO5 programs. Especially, 1-DAMETR(>50 J) was more insensitive than BTTN(1 J) and TMETN(9.2 J).

BTTN, TMETN은 고체 추진제에서 사용되는 대표적인 에너지 가소제이다. 그러나 이 물질들은 충격 감도가 비교적 민감하다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 BTTN, TMETN 보다 둔감한 에너지 가소제를 개발하기 위해 트리아졸 계열의 4,5-bis(azidomethyl)-(2-methoxyethyl)-1,2,3-triazole(DAMETR)을 합성하고 이화학적 특성 분석을 하였다. 또한, 분광분석(NMR, IR)을 통해 DAMETR의 구조를 분석하였고, 유리전이온도, 녹는점, 분해온도, 밀도, 점도, 충격감도 등의 물리적 특성을 측정하였다. 그리고 Gaussian 09와 EXPLO5를 이용하여 생성열과 폭발 특성(폭압, 폭속) 등을 계산하였다. 특히 1-DAMETR(>50 J)의 충격감도는 BTTN(1 J), TMETN(9.2 J)에 비해 매우 둔감하였다.
