title: Synthesis, characterization and thermolysis studies on triazole and tetrazole based high nitrogen content high energy materials.
abstract: This paper reports the synthesis, characterisation and thermolysis studies of hydrazinium azotetrazolate (HAZ) and 1,1'-dinitro-3,3'-azo-1,2,4-triazole (N-DNAT). TGA and DSC results suggested that HAZ decomposes in the range of 150-180 degrees C and N-DNAT in the range of 160-170 degrees C, respectively. The pattern of decomposition of HAZ dihydrate and N-DNAT has been predicted with the help of pyrolysis GC/MS technique and a probable decomposition mechanism has been proposed. The theoretically predicted performance data suggests the potential nature of HAZ and N-DNAT for their use in propellant/explosive as well as in gas generator formulations.
