| Abstract: | NUP-7(II) has already proved its potential for inhibition of CMDB propellants. NUP-7(I), NUP-7(II), and NUP-7(III) have been synthesized by “one-step,” “two-step,” and “three-step” processes of polyesterification and their various characteristics have been studied and discussed in terms of theoretical considerations. NUP-7(III) possesses better elongation and higher chemical resistance (low nitroglycerine absorption)—two contradictory characteristics reported in the case of most of the polymeric materials. It therefore will have added advantages over NUP-7(II) for military as well as civil applications. |
