The modelling of hydrothermal aging in glass fibre reinforced epoxy composites

Abstract
The usefulness of two diffusion models of differing complexity has been examined in the case of hydrothermal aging of a unidirectional glass fibre reinforced epoxy composite. It has been shown that water absorption in this material under immersion conditions cannot be explained on the basis of simple single-free-phase diffusion into the resin and that a more complex description is needed.
