Abstract
Attempts have been made to synthesize aliphatic polymethylene nitroamines t hrough reactions between NH2NO2 and CH2O. The process of synthesis has been achieved in a two-component system: water/ethyl acetate. The solubility of the obtained product, as well as, its susceptibility to chemical decomposi tion in different solvents have been studied The product's heat resistance and its temperature of self-decomposition have been determined through the DTA-TG method Despite being an energetic material, it shows little sensitiv eness to mechanical stimuli (friction).
