Influence of the structure of oxirane-containing compounds on curing of poly-N-methyl-5-vinyltetrazole

详细

Comparative analysis of the curing performance of epoxy-containing cross-linking agents of different structure in vulcanization of a promising binder for energetic systems, poly-N-methyl-5-vinyltetrazole prepared by the modification procedure and containing residual N–H-unsubstituted tetrazole fragments, was made. Cross-linking of polymer chains of the binder is a result of alkylation of the residual N–H-unsubstituted tetrazole rings in poly-N-methyl-5-vinyltetrazole macromolecules with oxirane rings of the second reactant. Curing of poly-N-methyl-5-vinyltetrazole in the presence of macromolecular curing agents, carbon-chain polymers containing oxirane rings in pendant chains, at temperatures lower than 100°С occurs in a considerably narrower time interval compared to curing with low-molecular-mass epoxy resin.
