The growing demand for type IV hydrogen tanks with long life, lightweight, high hydrogen
storage density characteristics has posed new issues for liners. The paper discusses the …

During the manufacturing of composite pressure vessels, the fiber tension of the filament
winding process has an important influence on the mechanical properties as well as on the …

Hydrogen permeation through uniaxially strained thin SiO x based gas barrier films, formed
at room temperature and ambient pressure on PET foil substrates by UV photochemical …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most widely used polymeric substrates for
flexible photonic applications. Like all polymers, its usage is limited by the modest …

Featured Application The proposed assessing method can find an application for the non-
destructive evaluation of PE liners at the beginning of the manufacturing chain of high …

The reported work was focused on sol–gel-derived organically modified and fluorinated
silica coatings deposited on elastic polymeric foil. The structure and topography of the …

In our study, we compare the surface modifications of coarse HDPE surface induced by
atmospheric air plasma, CO2 laser, and flame treatments. An order of WCA decrease of air …

The inherent balance between dielectric constant and loss restricts the actual usage of
dielectric elastomer actuators with high actuation strains, proposing a method that can break …

For the development of flexible photonic devices, polymeric substrates are of capital
importance due to their low cost and mechanical flexibility. However, they are sensitive to …
