The laboratory synthesis of the energetic plasticizer n‐buNENA was scaled up to one kg batch size and the compound was fully characterized by spectral data and elemental analysis. N‐buNENA was formulated with CMDB and EDB propellant compositions. The results showed an improvement in mechanical properties and burning rate over a wide range of pressure along with acceptable limits of hazard and thermal stability as compared to DEP based propellant systems.
