Evaluation of advanced bladder technology

Abstract

Research conducted during this period is reported. Studies presented include: (1) diffusion and permeation of CO2, O2, N2, and NO2 through polytetra fluoroethylene; (2) diffusion, permeation and solubility of simple gases (CO2, O2, N2, CH4, C2H6, C3H8, and C2H4) through a copolymer of hexafluoro propylene and tetrafluoro ethylene (FEP); (3) viscous flow and diffusion of gases throug small apertures; (4) diffusion and permeation of O2, N2, CO2, CH4, C2H6, and C3H8 through nitroso rubber; and (5) results of gas transport studies with carborane siloxane, nitroso rubber, silicone membrane, krytox coating on teflon, and FEP coated glass cloth. Publications generated under this program are listed.
