Abstract:

As a promising burning rate modifier of propellents, the boron hydride salt [(C2H5)4N]2B10H10 was synthesized by the pyrolysis of tetraethylammonium borohydride and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 11B NMR and elementary analysis. The thermal stabilities in Ar or in O2 were investigated by DSC and TG. The results showed that it decomposed with less heat release in Ar. But in O2, it decomposed at first then was oxided with more heat release. The kinetic equation of thermal decomposition reaction was obtained by Kissinger method and Coat-Redfern program. Using combined solid reaction cell in-situ and FTIR, DSC-TG-FTRI-MS simultaneous techniques, thermal decomposition mechanism was supposed, the compound decomposes at 303.2 ℃, and produces C2H6, NH3, H2 and B.
