The Role of Water Transport in Composite Materials

  • Chapter
Polymer Permeability

Abstract

The last few years have witnessed a tremendous growth in the use of composite materials in various fields, spanning the whole range from sporting goods to structural materials for the aerospace industry. Such applications almost invariably entail contacts with liquids or vapours—either aqueous or organic—bearing on both the immediate and the long-term performance of the material. Hence, problems pertinent to the role of permeability of composite materials must be of prime consideration as limiting factors. This applies particularly to the most common phenomenon of moisture penetration.
