Gas Barriers: Graphene/Polyamide Laminates for Supercritical CO₂ and H₂S Barrier Applications: An Approach toward Permeation Shutdown (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 15/2018)

Abstract

Flexible pipes used to transport crude oil and gas from the seafloor to the surface are made of layers of a polyamide and strengthening steel. In article number https://doi.org/10.1002/admi.201800304 by Thomas P. Raine, Bernadette Craster, Peter M. Budd and co‐workers, it is shown how the polyamide can be made a much more effective barrier to carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide at high pressure by addition of a graphene layer.
