The goals of this project were twofold: first, to develop moisture barriers for extruded dielectric cables, and second, to develop and expansion layer between the cable and the moisture barrier so that the construction can withstand thermal cycling. Several metallic foil/adhesive composites were developed to prevent moisture migration and exhibit good mechanical characteristics.
