Abstract

Up to now, the research studies about 5-aminotetrazole (5-AT) gas generators are still not complete. In this work, ten gas generators based on 5-AT with different ordinary oxidants were designed. At the same time, ten gas generators based on azodicarbonamide (ADC), a current gas-generating material, were also designed, which serves as a contrast to formulas of 5-AT. The oxidants of all formulas are the same in proportion. The specific volume, gas production rate, and combustion temperature of these gas generators were measured and calculated. In conclusion, 5-AT/KClO₄/Fe₂O3/MnO₂ formula has high specific volume, acceptable combustion temperature (1466.07 K), and large gas production (maximum pressures can reach 1.79 MPa). It is a kind of gas generator with potential value of development such as using in inflating airbags of automobiles.
