Abstract
AbstractThe environmental behaviour of carbon fibre composites is being investigated. Water pick‐up data obtained during these studies are analysed in an attempt to develop an understanding of the absorption mechanism.There is evidence which indicates that voids and defects in the composite have a marked effect on the absorption process and may assume greater significance than the diffusion process through the resin.Comments are made as to the possibility of the reversible behaviour of the composites on drying out being associated with hydrogen bonding phenomena. The need to know the size and location of voids is also stressed.
