The initial isothermal aging behavior of poly （3-nitratomethyl-3-methyloxetane） （PNIMMO） was studied. The aging kinetic parameters and thermal aging mechanism of PNIMMO at 100-120 ℃ were investigated using an isothermal gas measuring device. The storage life of PNIMMO was determined by the Berthelot equation. The results indicate that the activation energy （E_a） is 156.42 kJ·mol^-1 and the logarithm of the pre-exponential factor （lgA） is 16.86 s^-1 when the aging depth of PNIMMO reaches 0.1%. Conversely， at an aging depth of 0.5%， E_a is measured at 156.05 kJ·mol^-1 and lgA at 16.03 s^-1， as derived from the Arrhenius equation. According to the mode matching method， the thermal aging of PNIMMO at 100-120 ℃ conforms to the mechanism function No.28， that is， the reaction order n=1/4， E_a=154.33 kJ·mol^-1. Using an aging depth of 0.1% as the evaluation criterion， PNIMMO can be stored at room temperature for 51.6 years. During the initial phase of thermal decomposition， the side chain ─O─NO₂ bond undergoes cleavage followed by hydrogenation， subsequently leading to gradual degradation of the main chain into stable polyaromatic compounds.
