Tetrazoles are cyclic aromatic compounds that include four nitrogens and one carbon atom in one ring .These compounds have many applications in civil and military industries. These compounds can produce great amount of N2 after burning and for this reason they have a little environmental contamination and are considered as green explosive materials. Introduction of tetrazoles in polymeric chain structure can enhance the energetic properties of polymers. So far various methods were reported for the synthesis of polytetrazoles .In the most of them, tetrazoles linked to the main chain as suspension branches. By using the functionalized tetrazole rings as monomer, we can insert these rings into the main chain structure. By controlling and improving the mechanical properties of polytetrazoles, these polymers due to their special impulse and good termal stability, have the capability to substitute with some high energetic polymers such as GAP. In this paper, the synthesis of various tetrazole polymeric systems are investigated.
