Fabrication and operation of a system for the PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) coating of polymer microshells with trace gas fill

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6734645
Polymer microshells with a PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) coating are produced for the ICF Program by the Fusion Target Fabrication (FTF) Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories. A PVA coating greatly reduces the permeation of gas through a polymer microshell. The equipment and procedures used in the production of PVA coated microshells are discussed. 6 figs.
