A fabric and elastomeric material (referred to as a fabric trilayer) combined with a sealant may be applied in such a fashion so as to eliminate or minimize air entrapment in an elastomeric composite structure that forms a seal-sealing volume. The performance of the self-sealing volume is dramatically improved with this minimizing of air entrapment. Surprisingly and unexpectedly, this construction approach may be accomplished without significantly adding to the weight or thickness of the volume and without affecting the outer dimension of the self-sealing volume. Thus, a method and system for forming a self-sealing volume are described. The system includes an elastomeric composite structure comprising at least one layer of an elastomeric material derived from a neat (no solvent) elastomeric material that does not substantially react at room temperature.

1. A method for making a self-sealing volume, the method comprising: coating an inflatable preform with a material for forming the self-sealing volume and for forming one or more passages that allow for the escape of a fluid, the material comprising an elastomeric material;placing the preform having the material into a mold;inflating the material against the mold with the fluid;allowing the fluid to escape through the one or more passages; andcuring the material with the mold to form the self-sealing volume, wherein the material comprises on or more layers of fabrics, each fabric having a weight between about 4.0 oz/square yard to about 36.0 oz/square yard. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the material comprises at least one of polyurethanes, polyureas, polyurethane ureas, epoxy, polyester, and silicones. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the material comprises cords, each cord having diameter of between about 0.0624 of an inch to about 0.25 an inch. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the material comprises fabrics made from at least one of nylon, polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene and an aramid. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the material comprises at least one of a sealant calendared onto a fabric and a sealant calendared between two layers of fabric. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more passages are positioned in at least one of a corner of the self-sealing volume, and a side of the self-sealing volume. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the material comprises at least one of polyurethanes, polyureas, polyurethane ureas, epoxy, polyester, and silicones. 8. A method for making a self-sealing volume, the method comprising: coating an inflatable preform with a material for forming the self-sealing volume and for forming one or more passages that allow for the escape of a fluid, the material comprising an elastomeric material;placing the preform having the material into a mold;inflating the material against the mold with the fluid;allowing the fluid to escape through the one or more passages; andcuring the material with the mold to form the self-sealing volume, wherein the material comprises at least one of a sealant calendared onto a fabric and a sealant calendared between two layers of fabric. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the material comprises at least one of polyurethanes, polyureas, polyurethane ureas, epoxy, polyester, and silicones. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the material comprises cords, each cord having diameter of between about 0.0624 of an inch to about 0.25 an inch. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein the material comprises on or more layers of fabrics, each fabric having a weight between about 4.0 oz/square yard to about 36.0 oz/square yard. 12. The method of claim 8, wherein the material comprises fabrics made from at least one of nylon, polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene and an aramid. 13. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more passages are positioned in at least one of a corner of the self-sealing volume, and a side of the self-sealing volume. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the material comprises at least one of polyurethanes, polyureas, polyurethane ureas, epoxy, polyester, and silicones. 15. A method for making a self-sealing volume, the method comprising: coating an inflatable preform with a material for forming the self-sealing volume and for forming one or more passages that allow for the escape of a fluid, the material comprising an elastomeric material;placing the preform having the material into a mold;inflating the material against the mold with the fluid;allowing the fluid to escape through the one or more passages; andcuring the material with the mold to form the self-sealing volume, wherein the one or more passages are positioned in at least one of a corner of the self-sealing volume, and a side of the self-sealing volume. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the material comprises at least one of polyurethanes, polyureas, polyurethane ureas, epoxy, polyester, and silicones. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the material comprises cords, each cord having diameter of between about 0.0624 of an inch to about 0.25 an inch. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein the material comprises on or more layers of fabrics, each fabric having a weight between about 4.0 oz/square yard to about 36.0 oz/square yard. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein the material comprises fabrics made from at least one of nylon, polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene and an aramid. 20. The method of claim 15, wherein the material comprises at least one of a sealant calendared onto a fabric and a sealant calendared between two layers of fabric.
