This report focuses on progress made in the last 12 months, with prior results briefly summarized. We emphasize that the key to our work is an increase in barrier properties. Thus, much of our work has focused on poor, thin barriers composed of PVA. WE have done so because experiments are then able to be conducted over reasonable times. At the same time, we have developed and experimentally verified theories showing how our short experiments can be extrapolated to real situations.
