Examination of Cesium Dinitramide as a Pyrotechnic Oxidizer

Cesiumdinitramide (CsDN) was synthesized via a cation exchange reaction of cesiumhydroxide (CsOH) and commercially available ammoniumdinitramide (ADN). The received CsDN and the raw ADN, respectively were mixed with microcrystalline cellulose. The mixtures were burnt in free atmosphere and temperatures as well as VIS-, NIR- and IR- spectra were obtained from the combustion process.
