MECHANISM OF WATER ABSORPTION IN GLASS-REINFORCED PLASTICS,

Abstract

Experiments with hydrophilic polymers as models demonstrate that the diffusion rate of water into these materials is not perceptibly accelerated by increasing the hydrostatic pressure of the immer sion studies at atmospheric and elevated pres sure. Mechanical properties accompanies pro longed immersion.
