Purification and Properties of Polyvinyl Nitrate and Its Compatibility With Solid Oxidizers

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyvinyl nitrate (PVN) is a nitrate‐ester energetic binder that can be produced directly from polyvinyl alcohol—a cheap commodity feedstock—thereby offering potential cost and supply‐chain advantages over binders based on nitrocellulose and other specialty polymers.

Screening Surface Modifications to Benzene to Improve Solubility in Hydroxyl‐Terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB)—A DFT Demonstration

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the advantage of computationally pre‐screening surface‐modifying material candidates, using density functional theory (DFT), to inform experimental synthesis and formulation efforts. This demonstration focuses on improving the solubility of benzene‐based materials in hydroxyl‐terminated ...

Highly integrated, alignment healing, and full‐recyclable multifunctional flexible devices based on dynamic covalent bonds

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
This study addresses stability, repair, and recycling in flexible devices using polymers with identical dynamic bonds but incompatible backbones. This enables robust integration, precise self‐healing, and full recyclability. We demonstrate optoelectronic sensors that, after damage, magnetically self‐assemble and heal upon heating.

Hydroxyl‐Terminated Polybutadiene‐Based Molding Powders as an Alternative Route for Manufacturing Pressed Polymer‐Bonded Explosives

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 955-965, June 2026.
This study presents an alternative method to manufacture polymer‐bonded explosives by partially curing an HTPB‐based molding powder prior to compaction. The study shows that the length of partial cure time before compaction directly influenced the geometric fidelity, homogeneity, compressive strength, density, and internal microstructure.
