Nanodefect-controlled permeation in AlOx/polymer gas barrier films

The permeation of water vapour through a coated polymer gas barrier film is controlled by the defects in the coating. By modelling these defects as a combination of macro-defects (in which the activation energy of permeation is that of the underlying polymer substrate) and nano-defects (in which the...
