The present invention relates to a high energy-containing propellant composition and a use thereof. The propellant composition of the present invention is a propellant composition for guns, including: (a) 55 to 85 wt % of a nitrocellulose binder; (b) 10 to 35 wt % of a nitramine oxidant; (c) 1 to 4 wt % of a plasticizer having both a nitrate group and a nitramine group; and (d) 0.5 to 3 wt % of a stabilizer. The propellant composition of the present invention significantly improves a physical compatibility between the nitrocellulose binder and the oxidant using a plasticizer containing both a nitrate group and a nitramine group, leading to stable interior ballistics characteristics from low temperature to high temperature as well as improvement on the characteristics of an extrudate. Accordingly, the propellant composition of the present invention may be effectively applied to an ammunition for guns due to an excellent physical property and interior ballistic stability thereof.

Solid propellant systems include a main propellant and a secondary propellant in contact with the first propellant that exhibits autoignition temperatures of at least about 100° F. lower than the autoignition temperature of the main propellant. The secondary propellant of the present invention is most advantageously employed with conventional AP-containing solid propellant formulations as the main propellant, especially formulations containing both AP, an energetic solid, and a binder. In especially preferred forms, the secondary propellant will include a nitramine which is at least one selected from nitroguanidine (NQ), cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (RDX) and cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine (HMX), and a binder which is at least one selected from HTPB, HTPE or glycidyl azide polymer (GAP). Most preferably, the secondary propellant will include a combination of nitramines which includes NQ and one of RDX or HMX.

The present invention relates to functional group-protected diazidoglyoxime (DAG), a method of synthesizing the same, and a method of synthesizing TKX-50 using functional group-protected DAG.
