Autocatalysis decomposition of single and double-base propellants is caused to production of nitrogen oxides radicals. Produced radicals, meantime reducing the inner energy of propellant, increased the decomposition process. To restriction of this process, some materials were added to propellant formulation as a stabilizer. Common stabilizers are toxic therefore, decreasing the toxicity and enhancing the stabilizing ability are focused by most of the researchers. Having many phenyl, electrophilic and electrophobic groups in polymeric stabilizers remarkably enhanced the stabilizing ability of them. Considering to the importance of this topic, in this paper, some non-toxic and polymeric stabilizers were investigated.
