$Slowing the unstoppable \u2013 can we stop hydrogen permeation?$

Let's dive into the science behind hydrogen permeation and see if we can finally put a stop to it!
About this Event

Hydrogen permeation is an intrinsic transport phenomenon that underpins many of the materials challenges facing hydrogen technologies. This talk outlines the physical basis of hydrogen permeation, discusses state-of-the-art experimental testing methods, and evaluates the role of permeation barrier coatings. Quantitative performance data for selected materials and coating systems are presented to illustrate current capabilities and limitations in slowing hydrogen transport.
