SINGLE-LAYER COMPOSITE PRESSURE VESSEL

摘要

This invention is directed to a polymeric pressure vessel comprising a wall prepared by living polymerization such that the wall comprises a single layer of polymer having two sub-layers, an inner sub-layer that is not a composite and an outer layer that is.

主权项

1. A pressure vessel, comprising:
a single-layer polymeric construct comprising an inner sub-layer and an outer sub-layer wherein:
the inner sub-layer is in contact with, is inert to, and is impenetrable by, a fluid contained in the pressure vessel;the outer sub-layer comprises a composite comprising a filamentous material that is hoop wound, isotensoidally wound or a combination of hoop and isotensoidally wound onto the inner sub-layer; and
the inner and outer sub-layers comprise a continuous polymeric matrix.
