主权项

1. A high pressure gas storage vessel comprising:
a wall including
a shell, anda liner arranged so as to line an inside of the shell, the liner including a polymer-based layer having barrier and piezoelectric properties,wherein the liner is a bladder coupled to the shell via inflation of the bladder or assisted molding,wherein the liner forms a hermetic seal for gas stored at high pressure therein, andwherein the liner is a self-sensing liner configured to measure, via the piezoelectric properties of the polymer-based layer, at least one of real-time pressure and temperature of the gas stored in the liner.
