What compounds plasticize nitrocellulose?

If the application is pyrotechnical, especially rocket propellant, energetic plasticizers are preferred. Nitroglycerin is probably the most widely used and effective energetic plasticizer for nitrocellulose. Nitroglycerin plasticized nitrocellulose is, in fact, the well-known "double base" smokeless powder. The commercial "Bullseye" pistol powder is 40% nitroglycerin. There are other energetic plasticizers, having equivalent specific energy to nitroglycerin, but safer to handle and store. These include diethylene glycol dinitrate (DEGDN), butanetriol trinitrate (BTTN), and trimethylolethane trinitrate (TMETN, in mixtures with DEGDN). If the application is application/engineering plastic, a very well-established plasticizer is camphor. The mixture of camphor and nitrocellulose is the well-known plastic "celluloid". As with energetic plasticizers, there are other inert plasticizers for nitrocellulose besides camphor. Phthalate esters are prominent in this group.


Can you make a bomb with a deck of cards using heat and water?

William Kogut, a murderer, back in 1930, committed suicide using an improvised explosive made using a deck of cards. Back then, the red dye on the cards contained nitrocellulose, which is an explosive chemical. He took a hollow leg from his prison bed, placed in it the cut-out hearts and diamonds from the cards, and filled it with water. Water reacts with nitrocellulose - Kogut sped the process up by placing the device on a heating vent. Eventually it exploded, killing him.

What is used in photography?

Gun cotton is nitrocellulose. It is a "low speed" explosive. It got its name because it looks like unbleached cotton. Film companies (like Kodak) used nitrocellulose and a waxy substance called camphor to make film in the late 1800s.

What is the difference between nylon membrane and nitrocellulose membrane?

Nylon membranes are less brittle and easier to handle than nitrocellulose, making them ideal for reprobing. They also respond more robustly to various environmental storage conditions than nitrocellulose. Nylon's highly hydrophilic nature makes prewetting unnecessary, and nylon membranes have much higher binding capacities than nitrocellulose for nucleic acids.
