Environmental Degradation Behaviors of Glass/ Carbon Fiber-reinforced Polymer Composites
This study has been investigated to find out the effects of water absorption on Fiber-reinforced Polymer Composites (FRPC) components. Two types of materials (I.e., carbon/ epoxy and glass/ epoxy laminates) were immersed during 100 days to monitor their water absorption behavior and mechanical behavior. Tensile tests after dried 4 days, also, accomplished to observe water absorption behavior of FRPC components by dry process. The results showed that the mechanical properties of FRPC and their glass transition temperature were influenced by moisture absorption in the FRPC components. Moreover, using micrographs and fractograpy, moisture absorption in the FRPC components make their interfacial properties decrease. Lastly, the mechanical properties of FRPC were remarkably recovered by dry process.
