Abstract: An apparatus for storing anti-tank ammunition including a tube with a first cap disposed at a first end of the tube, and a second cap disposed at a second opposing end of the tube. The first cap includes a one-way valve which allows gas to escape the tube, but which prevents gas from entering the tube. The apparatus reduces the amount of corrosion which forms on the ammunition, thereby substantially lowering the number of backfires of the ammunition.

Abstract: By using a specific polymer material for handling, shipping, and storage, integrated circuits are protected from both corrosion and electrostatic discharge. This enclosure material includes a polymer matrix with both carbon black and a metal embedded. Suitable metals include copper, iron, cobalt, and manganese.

Abstract: Corrosion of metals such as silver and copper by sulfur and chlorine containing entities are substantially prevented by surrounding these materials with a suitable polymeric structure. The structure should be a polymer containing a material such as copper or aluminum that reacts readily with corrosive gases. In one advantageous embodiment a polymer bag containing approximately 35 weight percent of dispersed, powdered copper is employed to enclose a metal containing structure such as a printed circuit board. Use of this expedient substantially reduces corrosion of the printed circuit board.

Abstract: An indicator device useful for detecting H.sub.2 S is disclosed. This detector utilizes a polymer having a permeation constant of at least 5.times.10.sup.-9 cm.sup.3 H.sub.2 S.multidot.cm thickness/(cm.sup.2 area.multidot.sec.multidot.cm Hg) with an incorporated lead containing compound at concentration levels of at least 10 weight percent. These compositions are useful for detecting hydrogen sulfide in concentrations as low as approximately 10 parts per billion by volume, or concentrations of approximately 1 part per million in relatively short periods, e.g., five minutes, and are utilizable for quantitative measurements of H.sub.2 S concentration.
