Abstract Epoxy R-Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composite plates were
hydrothermally aged at 60° C for 23, 75, and 133 days. The water content reached 0.97 wt …

Moisture absorption in polymer composites is a slow process that can take several decades,
so it is often modelled without experimental verification. This unique study reports the …

Epoxies and epoxy-based fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are significantly affected by
environmental impacts during their service life. Exposures to water, humidity, temperature …

The biopolymer composites have gained greater significance due to their eco compatibility.
However, the performance, longevity, and the durability of the biopolymer composites are …

The use of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites in load-carrying constructions
has significantly increased over the last few decades. Such GFRP composite structures may …

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of mechanical recycling on the physical and
mechanical properties of recycled polyamide 6 (PA6) and polyamide 66 (PA66) in relation to …
