Plasticizers are one of the additives that are added to polymers to increase the plasticity or decrease the viscosity of the material. Here, we have synthesized and characterized a new PGN-based reactive energetic plasticizer that has an oligomeric structure. The reactive energetic plasticizer can be grafted onto glycidyl azide polymer via a Cu-free Huisgen azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The effect of the covalently bonded PGN-based plasticizer on the thermal properties of GAP-g-PGN copolymer has been investigated through thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The results indicate that the glass transition temperature of the prepolymer is decreased from –47.8 to –50.7 °C. Also, the kinetics of the thermal behaviour of GAP-g-PGN copolymer was determined by the application of the Kissinger and FWO kinetic models. The activation energies calculated by the Kissinger method were 165 and 188 kJ/mol for peak 1 and peak 2, respectively. Furthermore, the critical temperature (Tb) of thermal explosion for this energetic copolymer was estimated to be 182 °C.
