M. Tech. Polymer Technology. / The gas permeability of composite epoxy resins formulated with graphene platelets and glass flakes was investigated. The purpose of researching the gas permeability of the composite resins was to develop a possible coating system that could prevent or limit the release of radioactive gases like tritium from irradiated graphite waste which may accumulate in underground repositories. Helium was used as a substitute gas to simulate the diffusive properties of tritium gas.
