Ammonium dinitramide(ADN) is currently under inder investigation as a replacement for ammonium perchlorate, both for environmental and toxicological reasons. Another promising application is ADN-based liquid monopropellant as a replacement for hydarzine, which is highly toxic and carcinogenic. Production of ADN is today normally performed via guanylurea dinitramide(GUDN) by reaction with potassium hydroxide to yiela potassium dinitramide(KDN). In a second reaction step, KDN is reacted with ammonium sulfate to give ADN. In our new improved process, ADN is synthesized from GUDN in one single reaction step. The simplified process improves purity, reduces the amount of by-products and allows production of ADN at a potentially lower cost, which is crucial to favour the use of ADN.

Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) Low toxicity monopropellant based 1N class thruster and test equipment were developed. Compared with the hydrazine which used in existing satellite thruster, ADN is easy to handle and has excellent physical characteristics such as density and specific impulse. Due to these characteristics, ADN is attracting attention as an eco-friendly propellant. In this paper, 1N class thruster and thrust measurement system was designed for performance testing of ADN monopropellant. The composition of the propellant for the design and experiment was set at 11.2: 25.4: 63.4 for each of Methanol: $H_2O$: ADN.

Research of ADN-based monopropellant thruster is progressed by developed countries in Europe to replace toxic hydrazine, and ADN-based monopropellant thruster system is the only system that was proved in space environment. In this research, ADN-based propellant and catalyst was fabricated to develop ADN-based monopropellant thruster, and catalytic combustion performance with fabricated propellant and catalyst were evaluated with DSC-TG analysis. Catalytic combustion of propellant and catalyst was determined with firing test using 5 N scale liquid monopropellant thruster.

In this study, the decomposition performance of ammonia dinitramide (ADN) based liquid monopropellant was evaluated by using metal supported alumina bead catalyst. Alumina bead was calcined at $1200^{\circ}C$, and Pt and Cu were impregnated on alumina bead by excess water impregnation using a rotary evaporator. The decomposition temperature ($T_{dec}$) of ADN-based liquid monopropellant was measured in a home-made batch reactor. The decomposition temperature of Cu/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was lower than that of Pt/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst, and $T_{dec}$ was about $130^{\circ}C$.

In this study, we evaluated the wound healing rate and, inflammatory cells effects of by Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai (ADN) extract in mice. We also assessed the stability of the ADN extract upon exposure to sunlight. Treatments were as follows: 1) CON (only saline solution), T1 (CON + 0.0125% ADN extract), T2 (CON + 0.05% ADN extract), and T3 (CON + 0.5% ADN extract). A 4 mm punch was used in the central part of the dorsal area to separate it from the subcutaneous tissue, causing a full-thickness skin wound. An amount of 1 mL of each sample was sprayed onto the treatment section of the wound with a pipette every day from the day of wound creation, with proper application ensured using brush. In the stability test, the pH was measured at 1, 4, and 8 weeks after exposing the samples of each treatment section to sunlight considering, the higher concentrations of the ADN extract. The results of this study indicate that the effectiveness of the wound contraction rate in the mice to which the ADN extract was applied was low. Moreover, the stability of the sample containing a high concentration of the ADN extract could not be verified. In addition, no significant results were obtained in the inflammatory reaction assessment. Therefore, additional research focusing on wound contraction, stability, and inflammatory cell outcomes of the ADN extract is needed.

Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)에 사용되는 유기발광재료 9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene (ADN)의 상평형 특성을 저진공에서 고진공 조건에 따라 연구하였다. ADN재료의 지속적인 가열과 압력제어가 가능한 진공시스템에서 진공도를 변화시키면서 ADN재료의 온도변화에 따른 상전이 현상을 확인하였다. 본 연구장비의 신뢰성평가를 위하여 상압에서 기존의 Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) 열분석으로 측정한 ADN의 melting point와 비교하였고 각각의 진공조건에서 3회 반복 측정하여 장비신뢰성을 검증하였다. 연구결과, 0.1 Torr에서부터는 상압의 경우와 달리 ADN이 승화하는 것을 확인하였고, 예상대로 진공도가 높아질수록 상전이가 시작되는 온도가 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 기존의 DSC열분석으로는 확인할 수 없었던 고진공에서의 유기재료의 상전이 현상을 관측하였다는데 큰 의미가 있다. 향후, 이러한 방법을 활용한 고진공에서의 유기재료의 상전이 특성 관측은 유기재료를 이용한 진공 증착공정방법의 최적화와, 다양한 유기재료의 열안정성 특성 파악에 도움이 될 것으로 기대가 된다.

In this study, a Cu/hexaaluminate catalyst was prepared by a co-precipitation method, and then a binder was added to form a pellet. A catalyst in which Ni and Ru promoters were added to a Cu/hexaaluminate pellet catalyst was prepared. This study focused on examining the effect of the addition of Ni and Ru promoters on the properties of Cu/hexaaluminate catalysts and the decomposition reaction of ADN-based liquid monopropellants. Cu/hexaaluminate catalysts had few micropores and well-developed mesopores. When Ru was added as a promoter to the Cu/hexaaluminate pellet catalyst, the pore volume and pore size increased significantly. In the thermal decomposition reaction of ADN-based liquid monopropellant, the decomposition onset temperature was 170.2 ℃. Meanwhile, the decomposition onset temperature was significantly reduced to 93.5 ℃ when the Cu/hexaaluminate pellet catalyst was employed. When 1% or 3% of Ru were added as a promoter, the decomposition onset temperatures of ADN-based liquid monopropellant were lowered to 91.0 ℃ and 83.3 ℃, respectively. This means that the Ru promoter is effective in lowering the decomposition onset temperature of the ADN-based liquid monopropellant because the Ru metal has excellent activity in the decomposition reaction of ADN-based liquid monopropellant, simultaneously contributing to the increase of the pore volume and pore size. After the thermal treatment at 1,200 ℃ and decomposition of ADN-based liquid monopropellant were repeatedly performed, it was confirmed that the addition of Ru could enhance the heat resistance of the Cu/hexaaluminate pellet catalyst.

Recently ADN was disclosed to replace AP or AN as a solid oxidizer. 3-N,N-Dinitraminopropanitrile, a key intermediate in the preparation of ADN, was synthesized from bis(2-cyanoethyl)amine by the sequence: nitration of bis(2-cyanoethyl)amine followed by decyanoethylation by base and the second nitration with NO2BF4. 3-N-Nitro-bis(2-cyanoethyl)amine could also be obtained by the oxidation of the corresponding N-nitroso compound.

The combustion test of LMP-103S, a propellant based on ADN(Ammonium Dinitramide), was performed with a 50 mN scale micro-thruster. The micro-thruster was made with photosensitive glass using MEMS manufacturing process. $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was used as a catalyst to decompose LMP-103S. After injecting 90 wt.% hydrogen peroxide into combustion chamber to preheat the catalyst, LMP-103S was injected for the combustion test. As a result, the ignition and combustion of LMP-103S was confirmed in platinum catalyst environment with the combustion chamber temperature going up to $650^{\circ}C$.

최근의 선진국의 전략미사일에 사용되는 추진제 개발 방향은 고에너지, 저민감, 무연 및 무공해 추진제를 목표로 하고 있다. 현재까지 가장 널리 사용되어온 AP는 성능이나 기계적 특성에서 우수한 산화제이나 로켓 모타 배출기체 중에 HC1을 생성함으로써 2차 연기를 생성하며, HC1 자체가 인체에 유해한 물질이라는 단점들을 가지고 있다. 또한 RDX나 HMX는 에너지가 높은 반면 쇽(shock)에 대해 매우 민감한 단점을 가지고 있다. AN은 이러한 HC1을 생성하는 AP의 단점과 쇽에 민감한 RDX와 HMX의 단점을 해결할 수 있는 대체 산화제로 사용할 수 있으나, 성능이 대외적으로 떨어지며 상변이와 흡습성이 높은 단점이 있다. ADN은 -100~+10$0^{\circ}C$범위에서 상 변이가 없고 밀도는 1.801g/㎤, Hf는 -290cal/g이다. ADN을 산화제로 사용하면 HTPB/AP 추진제와 동등하거나 그 이상의 성능을 갖는 추진제를 만들 수가 있으며, 유해 기체인 HC1을 배출하지 않음으로 인하여 2차 연기를 없애는 장점이 있다.
