Army scientists synthesize high-performing energetic material
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (May 3, 2016) -- Army scientists are on the trail of new high-performing energetic materials.
Scientists at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory recently synthesized a new material called bis-isoxazole tetranitrate, or BITN, with potential applications in propulsion and lethality.
"BITN has a strong potential for improving insensitive munitions characteristics for gun and rocket propellants" said Dr. Jesse J. Sabatini, team leader of the Energetics Synthesis Team within ARL's Weapons and Materials Research Directorate.
