3,3‐Bis(Azidomethyl)Oxetane (BAMO)‐Based Energetic Binders: Opportunities, Challenges, and Pathways Toward Industrial Application in Solid Propellants

ABSTRACT BAMO (3,3‐bisazidomethyl oxetane)‐based polymers have emerged as a new generation of energetic binders, becoming a frontier research direction in solid propellants due to their high energy output and comparable safety properties. This review summarizes its advances from preparation, modification, and application perspectives. Starting from the synthesis of PBAMO, the relationships among synthesis‐structure‐property are first elaborated. Focusing on the crystallization issue, modification strategies are then categorized into copolymerization, chain extension, and hyperbranched for detailed discussion. Furthermore, a detailed assessment of BAMO‐based polymers in propellants is provided from application properties. The review concludes by summarizing the main bottlenecks currently faced and future directions, offering prospects from three aspects: developing continuous‐flow safe synthesis processes, rheology‐focused process intensification, and construction of process‐oriented simulation frameworks, accelerating the transition of BAMO‐based binders from laboratory research to industrial production.
