Project Summary
This project is aiming to develop ultra-lightweight composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPV) for hydrogen storage. The project will look at the design, liner manufacturing, deposition of variable-angle carbon fibre composite layers by filament winding (VAFW), liner to-composite interface improvement, and advanced morphological and structural modelling. These ultra lightweight VAFW COPVs will positively influence airport infrastructure such as expansible mobile fuel storage modules, refuelling stations and logistics vehicles.
