The synthetic methods and progress of bis(2,2-dinitropropyl)acetal/bis(2,2-dinitropropyl)formal (BDNPA/BDNPF,BDNPA/F) plasticizer were introduced. The oxidative-nitration route and the chlorination-nitration route were developed by USA． The chlorination-nitration route is suitable for large scale production. More environmental friendly synthetic technology for BDNPA/F was recently developed by Thiokol corporation. Thermal and chemical stabilities of BDNPA were worse than that of BDNPF,several improved compositions were proposed. Energy of DNBPF/BDNBF composite plasticizer is equal to that of the BDNPA/F mixture,but its chemical stability is better,therefore it has great potential application.
