Abstract
Fiber‐reinforced plastics (FRP) composites are prime choice materials in various civil engineering structures and high performance aerospace components. They exhibit superior mechanical properties than their metallic counterparts. However, they are susceptible to environmental damages and degradations. To utilize the full potential of FRP composite materials their physical, chemical, and mechanical behavior in different environmental conditions should be well established. Present review is an attempt at highlighting different damage/degradations that may be caused to the FRP composite on its exposure to various environmental conditions. POLYM.
