The interface region in glass fibre-reinforced epoxy resin composites: 2. Water absorption, voids and the interface

Abstract

This paper deals with the influence of voids, the fibre surface coating and the nature of the fibre-matrix interface on water absorption in glass fibre-reinforced epoxy matrix composites. We have found that the rate of water uptake and the maximum level of water absorption in E-glass fibre-reinforcedEpikote
