Dinitramide ($N(NO_2)_2$) salts are one of plausible oxidizing agents for a high efficient propellant. Guanidine dinitramide (GDN) is an organic salt improving its stability against moisture, so that enables massive production and long term storage. Several types of GDN (GDN-1,2,3,4,5) were synthesized using some types of starting materials such as guanidine acetate, chloride, carbonate, nitrate and sulfate. As a result of the experimental work, synthesized GDN from the carbonate salt appeared fairly pure relatively higher yield (99%) than the other samples. The absorption wave length of all prepared GDNs by FTIR were found at 3452, 3402, 3354, 3278, 3208, 1642, 1570, 1492, 1416, 1337, 1179 and $1000cm^{-1}$. DSC analysis found a thermal phase change at $130^{\circ}C$, and indicated exothermic reaction at about $150^{\circ}C$ to $160^{\circ}C$.

A new solid oxidizer, pyridinium dinitramide (Py-DN) is a low toxic energetic material which can be utilized as a HPGP (high performance green propellant). In this work, Py-DN was synthesized using various starting materials including potassium sulfamate, pyridine hydrochloride, strong nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Physical and chemical properties of the Py-DN were characterized using UV-Vis, FT-IR and a thermal analyzer and their properties were compared to those of previously prepared salts including ammonium dinitramide[ADN, $NH_4N(NO_2)_2$] and guanidine dinitramide[GDN, $NH_2C(NH_2)NH_2N(NO_2)_2$] in our lab. Endothermic and exothermic decomposition temperatures of Py-DN were $77.4^{\circ}C$ and $144.7^{\circ}C$, respectively. The combustion caloric value was 1739 J/g, which is thermally more sensitive than that of conventional dinitramides. It may enable to lower the decomposition temperature, which can reduce preheating temperature required for satellite thruster applications.

미사일 추력기 체계에 적용되는 하이드라진[$N_2H_4$]추진제는 MSDS-OHS 유해성 분류상 급성독성 물질로서 사용이 제한되고 있는 바, 다양한 대체물질이 개발 중이다. 최근 해외에서 안전성과 취급이 우수한 질산 히드록실암모늄[$NH_3OHNO_3$]과 암모늄 디나이트라마이드[$NH_4N(NO_2)_2$] 기반 단일계 액상추진제가 개발중이며, 이 물질들을 이용한 추력기 시스템 적용 시험이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 저온에서의 연로물질 산성화 반응으로 인한 디나이트라마이드[$N(NO_2)_2{^-}$] 물질의 분해는 나이트레이트[$NO_3{^-}$] 이온 생성을 촉진시키며, 부수적으로 발생하는 침전물은 촉매 및 노즐의 막힘 현상을 유발하므로 추력기 성능의 저해요인으로 작용한다. 그러므로 저온분해 방지를 위한 첨가제 조성 개발 및 열분해 특성 연구가 최근의 관심사이다. 본 연구는 합성/정제/추출한 암모늄 디나이트라마이드 산화제를 주요 조성물로 적용하였으며, 염기성 안정화제를 질량비율 4~5% 첨가하여 산성화 반응을 억제시킨 단일계 액상추진제(KMP) 형태로 제조하였다. 합성한 추진제는 시차주사열량계(DSC)를 이용하여 분해온도를 측정하여 열안정성을 평가해보았다.
