摘要
The effect of fibrous reinforcement and solvent content on moisture uptake in composite laminate was investigated. Two materials using identical epoxy resin systems but different reinforcements-glass vs, carbon fibers-and of different solvent content-low vs. normal-were examined. Samples were characterized in terms of water absorption and desorption. Mechanical and thermal properties including flexural modulus, flexural strength, and glass transition temperature were measured. Results clearly show the contribution of the fiber reinforcement as well as solvent content on the water absorption rate and mechanical property changes. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
