Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of applying a gas-impermeable coating includes forming a polyelectrolyte complex suspension. The polyelectrolyte complex suspension is applied to a substrate. The substrate having the polyelectrolyte complex applied thereon is treated. The treating reduces salt content of the polyelectrolyte complex. The treating results in a gas-impermeable coating being formed on the substrate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of applying a gas-impermeable coating, the method comprising: forming a polyelectrolyte complex suspension comprising a strong polyanion and a weak polycation; applying the polyelectrolyte complex suspension to a substrate to form a coated substrate; and curing the coated substrate using a buffering solution having a basic pH. 2. The method of claim 1 , comprising drying the polyelectrolyte complex suspension after application to the substrate. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the drying improves optical clarity of the gas-impermeable coating than if the drying is omitted. 4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the drying evaporates excess water from the polyelectrolyte complex suspension. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the curing improves gas impermeability of the gas-impermeable coating. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polyelectrolyte complex suspension has a pH of approximately 2. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polyelectrolyte complex suspension comprises cationic polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride and anionic polyacrylic acid. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the applying comprises dipping the substrate in the polyelectrolyte complex suspension.
