A composite container (10) for gas under high pressure comprises a seamless polymeric liner (140) having a bore through one end (30) a metal fitting (120A and 120B) bonded to the liner and penetrating the bore (134) a plurality of metal foil layers wrapped over the liner and metal fitting, a plurality of non-metallic film layers (180) wrapped about the metal foil layer (160) and fitting, and an outermost layer selected from the group consisting of: a thermosetting resin matrix structure which includes a plurality of metallic fibers for reinforcement and an insulation shell. Process for manufacturing such containers include: winding the plurality of layers of non-metallic fibers (180) about the metal foil layer (160) to form a resin matrix structure; curing the resin matrix structure; and applying a thermal insulation shell about the resin matrix structure. |
