This study provides new insights into the compatibility of a promising energetic polysaccharide, called nitrochitosan (NCS), with energy-rich ammonium perchlorate (AP), nitrate (AN), and hydrazine 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (HNTO) molecules, in order to survey their application prospects solid rocket propellants explosives. For this purpose, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermogravimetric (TGA) analyses were carried out accurately evaluate chemical NCS selected molecules following STANAG 4147 criterion. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), as non-thermal complementary technique, was also performed further elucidate eventual structural alterations occurring physical mixtures (NCS/AP, NCS/AN, NCS/HNTO). Based on DSC results, maximum exothermic peak temperature difference between (Tpeak = 164.7 °C) as-prepared NCS/AP 164.3 °C), NCS/AN 204.3 NCS/HNTO 197.0 admixtures is found be lower than 4 °C. Moreover, TGA experiments showed that observed mass losses are sum weight respective individual compounds. Therefore, thermal results demonstrated excellent corresponding molecules. In addition, FTIR measurements highlighted absence interactions AP, AN, HNTO. deep investigation characteristics such composites real-world applications will among main focuses postulated next stage research.
