Evaluation of malonanilides as new stabilizers for double-base propellants. (I)

摘要

Five malonanilide derivatives (M1-M5) were prepared by the reaction of ethyl malonate with aniline derivatives. These compounds were investigated as new stabilizers for double-base propellants (DBPs). The evaluation process has been performed through thermal stability tests, thermal analyses measurements (TGA and DSC) and kinetic parameters calculations (Ea). The results of the new stabilizers were compared with the results of the classical stabilizer N,N-dieth- yldiphenyl urea. It has been found that o- and p-dinitromalonanilides, in particular, showed better stability effect for DBPs than the classical one.
