Abstract
The current paper discusses about the effect of water ageing on mechanical properties of unfilled and nano-SiC filled Glass/Polyester (G-P) composites. G-P and its nanocomposites were synthesized using hand layup technique followed by compression moulding curing process. Kinetics of water absorption undergoing in each composites has been studied. Results showed that addition of nanofiller in pure G-P composites reduces the water uptake after attending its equilibrium level. Mechanical properties of the moisture absorbed sample exhibited low strength compared to dry or unexposed composites. In overall, amongst the fabricated composites, 4.5 wt.% nano-SiC Filled G-P composites showed better mechanical properties.
