Abstract
Disclosed herein are energetic compositions and methods of making thereof. A composition includes particles of a nitrogen-containing oxidizer dispersed in a polymeric binder and a bonding agent bonded to a surface of at least a portion the particles. The bonding agent disclosed is a Lewis acid.
Claims20
A composition comprising:
- particles of a nitrogen-containing oxidizer dispersed in a polymeric binder;
- and
- a bonding agent bonded to a surface of at least a portion the particles;
- wherein the bonding agent is a Lewis acid that forms a Lewis adduct with the nitrogen-containing oxidizer.

A composition comprising:
- nitrogen-containing oxidizer particles dispersed in a polymeric binder;
- and
- a Lewis acid bonding agent bonded to at least a portion of a surface the nitrogen-containing oxidizer particles to form an encapsulating film;
- wherein the Lewis acid bonding agent is an electron pair acceptor that forms a Lewis adduct with the nitrogen-containing oxidizer by sharing a pair of electrons.

A method of making a composition, the method comprising:
- coating at least a portion of a surface of nitrogen-containing oxidizer particles with a Lewis acid bonding agent to form a coated nitrogen-containing oxidizer;
- and
- mixing the coated nitrogen-containing oxidizer with a polymeric binder to form the composition;
- wherein the Lewis acid bonding agent forms a Lewis adduct with the nitrogen-containing oxidizer.
