Reactive Nanoengineered Coatings

Abstract

This project used two strategies to develop barrier coatings 10,000 times less permeable than those currently in existence. The first strategy used aligned impermeable flakes which reduced by roughly a factor of 50 both the permeability and the lag, that is the time before any significant penetration. The second strategy, sacrificial reagents, did not effect the permeability in the steady state limit but increased the lag by a factor of 1000 or more. The two strategies together can meet the original goal.
