This review describes the interaction of epoxy coatings with water, the kinetics of water
uptake in epoxy resins, and the methods of studying the latter (gravimetric, IR (Infrared) and …

Fiber-reinforced composites are commonly exposed to environments associated with
moisture and solution, resulting in uptake, which causes changes in the bulk resin, the fiber …

Abstract Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites are widely used in aircraft
structures, because of their superior mechanical and lightweight properties. CFRP …

This paper presented an investigation into the hydrothermal aging behavior and mechanical
durability of carbon fabric reinforced polyamide 6 (CF/PA6) laminates. Moisture absorption …

It is essential that moisture attack be considered when characterising interlaminar fracture
toughness. However, limited work has been reported on the correlation between …

Epoxy molding compounds (EMCs) have become an integral component for high power
electronics to work under harsh environment nowadays. For high temperature operation …

Hygrothermal effects on shear behaviors of composite stiffened panels are investigated
experimentally and analytically. Firstly, a moisture absorption test of the stiffened panel is …

Purpose This paper investigates the influence of moisture absorption on the mechanical
properties of carbon/epoxy composites. Design/methodology/approach Three types of …

Local mechanical properties of submicron features are of particular interest due to their
influence on macroscopic material performance and behaviour. This study is focused on …

Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) materials have gained significant traction in various
industrial sectors, including aerospace, marine, and energy applications, owing to their …
