MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511019073 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, on March 4, for 'pyrimidine-based insensitive high-energy materials and synthesis thereof for energetic and biocidal properties.'
Inventor(s) include Srinivas Dharavath; and Shreyasi Banik.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a novel class of pyrimidine-based insensitive high-energy materials (IHEMs) synthesized through a facile fuel-oxidizer self-assembly approach, resulting in iodine-rich energetic compounds with an iodine content of 36%. These materials exhibit high thermal stability, low sensitivity to mechanical stimuli, and enhanced energetic performance, making them suitable for advanced energetic applications, including advanced directional weapons (ADWs). A significant feature of the invention is the incorporation of oxyiodate ions, particularly in compound 5, which demonstrates potent biocidal activity. The oxyiodate-incorporated compound 5 demonstrates strong biocidal activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Antibacterial tests showed inhibition zones increasing from 10 mm and 11 mm at 1 mg/mL to 1."
