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).

Plasticizers play roles in increasing plasticity or fluidity during mixing. Representative plasticizers are DOS, DOA, IDP and BTTN. In particular, BTTN is an energy plasticizer that helps propellant performance and is widely used. However these compounds are sensitive relatively. So, in order to develop insensitive energetic plasticizer, synthesis of one of the derivatives of triazole, 4,5-bis (azido methyl)-(1-butyl)-1,2,3-triazole (1-DABTR), was studied. Also, the compound was characterized by NMR, IR spectroscopy, and physicochemical properties such as glass transition temperature, melting point, decomposition temperature, density, viscosity and impact sensitivity were measured. In addition, the heats of formation (${\Delta}H_f$) of 1-DABTR was also calculated using Gaussian 09.

The PEG and PCP have been used as a binder of high energy and minimum smoke propellant. In this study, PEG, PCP 0260, PCP 1270 and mixed PEG/PCP as a prepolymer were used, and also used BTTN/DEGDN and BTTN/TMETN as a plasticizer. Before being cured, the solution viscosity of prepolymer and plasticizer was measured with various contents of PCP in PEG and contents of plasticizer at $20^{\cire}C$~$60^{\cire}C$. The results were shown the increased concentration of PCP enhanced the viscosity of solution due to the hydrogen bond of PCP, and the increased contents of plasticizer undoubtedly decrease the viscosity of solution. The cured binders were tested for mechanical properties and measured for glass transition temperature with various concentration of PCP in PEG and contents of plasticizer. The increased concentration of PCP has shown better mechanical properties. This results were attributed to the H-bond. Also, the glass transition temperature was lowered with the higher contents of PCP Finally, with the higher content of PCP in PEG, the better mechanical properties and the lower glass transition temperature and the higher viscosity of solution were shown.

This work describes a model development and numerical simulation of detailed combustion mechanisms of RDX/GAP/BTIN propellants. The analysis is based on the conservation equations of mass, energy, and species concentrations for both the condensed and gas phases, and takes into account finite-rate chemical kinetics and variable thermophysical properties. The model has been applied to study the combustion wave structures and burning characteristics of RDX/GAP/BTIN propellants over a broad range of pressures. Reasonably good agreement is achieved between the calculated and measured burning rate at atmospheric pressure. But the model calculation does not result in dark zone experimentally observed.
