MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF A COMPOSITE RESERVOIR, AND A COMPOSITE RESERVOIR. The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a gas tight thermoplastic polymer bladder (2) from a type IV composite reservoir (1) and a type IV reservoir (I) obtainable therefrom. process. The process of the invention comprises a step of polymerizing a precursor monomer of said thermoplastic polymer into said thermoplastic polymer in a rotating mold heated to a working temperature greater than or equal to the melting temperature of said monomer and lower than the melting temperature of said polymer to form said bladder (2) by polymerization of said monomer coupled to a rotational molding and without melting of the obtained thermoplastic polymer. |
