Diploma thesis
"Chemistry of BTA": Synthese, Salze und Komplexe von Bis(tetrazolyl)aminen
Dissertation
"Advanced Energetic Materials Based on 5-Aminotetrazole - Synthesis, Characterization, Testing and Scale-up"
The figure shows an overview about the developed syntheses starting from 5-aminotetrazole during the work on my dissertation.
Each type of reaction opened a huge field of promising new N-rich tetrazole derivatives with possible technical applications in all fields of energetic materials: Primary and Secondary Explosives, Propellants and Pyrotechnics.
