Influence of Hydration State on Permeation Testing and Vapor Transport Properties of Protective Clothing Layers

Protective clothing systems composed ofpermselective polymer film laminates are analternative to standard air-permeable garments basedon activated carbon. These polymer layers aredesigned with high water vapor permeation rates andlow permeation of chemical warfare agents. Polymerfilms that have a si...
