	abstract = {<p>1-Nitro-3,3{\textquoteright}-dinitroazetidine(TNAZ) was synthesized based on the lines of reported method. Thermolysis studies on synthesized and characterized TNAZ using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hyphenated TG-FT-IR techniques were undertaken to generate data on decomposition pattern. FF-IR of decomposition products of TNAZ revealed the evolution of oxides of nitrogen and HCN containing species suggesting the cleavage of C/N-NO(2) bond accompanied with the collapse of ring structure. The effect of incorporation of 15\% additives namely, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole(AT), 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole (DAT), carbohydrazide (CHZ), 5,7-dinitrobenzofuroxan (DNBF), bis (2,2-dinitropropyl) succinate (BNPS), triaminoguanidinium nitrate (TAGN), 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid (TNBA) and nitroguanidine (NQ) on the volatility of TNAZ was investigated by undertaking thermogravimetric analysis. The TG pattern brings out the potential of BNPS and TAGN as additives to mitigate the volatility of TNAZ. The influence of additives on thermal decomposition of pattern of TNAZ was also investigated by DSC. The DSC results indicated that the additives did not have appreciable effect on the melting point of TNAZ. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) studies were carried out to investigate the effect of additives on morphology of TNAZ. This paper also discusses the possible mechanism involved in between the TNAZ and TAGN and BNPS. It appears that the formation of charge transfer complex formation between the TNAZ and TAGN/BNPS. The effect of addition of high explosives such as CL-20, HMX and RDX on thermo-physical characteristics of TNAZ is also reported in this paper. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>CdS/PVA nanocomposite thin films have been deposited on glass substrates by in situ thermolysis of precursors dispersed in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The synthetic technique reported in this study is free from complexing agent and hence no need to control the pH of the solution as in the case of conventional CBD. The as-prepared films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), UV-vis spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The XRD and SAED results indicated the formation of CdS nanoparticles with hexagonal phase in the PVA matrix. The photoluminescence and UV-vis spectroscopy revealed that CdS/PVA films showed quantum confinement effect. From the shift in optical band gap, particle sizes were calculated using effective mass approximation (EMA) method and it was found to be in agreement with the results obtained from TEM observations. The SEM results indicated that as grown films were homogeneous with no visible pinholes and cracks. The film prepared at 100 degrees C was found to be suitable for application as a window layer in solar cell. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},
