Compatibility of energetic plasticizer 2,4-dinitro-2,4-diazapentane (DNDA-5) with four different energetic binders viz. poly glycidyl nitrate (PGN), poly(3-nitratomethyl-3-methyloxetane) (PLN), glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) and tetra functional glycidyl azide polymer (t-GAP) was studied by using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and density functional theory (DFT) methods. Results obtained for the pure binder was compared with the results obtained for binder/plasticizer blend in the parameters of decomposition temperature and the format of the peak which indicated the compatibility or incompatibility of DNDA-5 with the studied binders. Glass transition temperatures of all these blends were determined by low temperature DSC and showed desirable lowering of glass transition temperature with single peak in the case of PLN. The proposed energetic plasticizer DNDA-5 has displayed its compatibility with three binders PGN, PLN and GAP employing thermal techniques. DNDA-5 has been found as incompatible when it is mixed with t-GAP. The predicted relative trend of interaction energies between plasticizer and binder has provided concurrence to results drawn from thermal studies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;1.349&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
