Materialer til kryogen lagring af naturgas og brint. Rapport om litteratursøgning : Rapport om litteratursøgning

The present report describes (in Danish) the results of a literature search within the area of plastic composites for cryogenic storage of liquid gases. The search was part of a project financially supported by the Danish Energy Agency (project no. 1443/94-0003) and was done late 1994/early 1995. The result of the search was a total of 231 references of which only about 25 were considered sufficiently interesting and relevant.

These literature references are briefly reflected in the present report and the main conclusions of the literature search is described. The majority of the references treated in the report are concerned with aerospace applications of cryogenic storage of liquid gases. Another significant application area is within super-conductors.

Material properties like gas permeabilities and mechanical properties have been studied and for several materials and combinations it has been found that nothing seems to prevent their utilisation in cryogenics. However, it is concluded from the literature search, that further studies and materials characterization is required to identify the most safe and suitable plastic composite materials feasible for storage of liquid natural gas and hydrogen.
