Nitrated polybutadiene

摘要

A nitrated derivative of polybutadiene has between 1% and 25% of the carbon atoms in the polymer substituted by nitrate (ONO2) groups. The materials are liquid rubbers with the initial polybutadiene having a molecular weight between 2000 and 10000. In an example, a hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene is epoxidised and then reacted with N2O5.
