Polyamides (PAs) are repeatedly exposed to environments of varying humidity throughout
their service life. Due to their hygroscopic nature, moisture diffusion can alter the polymer …

Polyamides serve as matrix material for fiber reinforced composites and are widely applied
in many different engineering applications. In this context, they are exposed to various …

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of temperature, moisture, and
hygrothermal aging on the tensile behavior of thermoplastic composites. Four different …

Thermoplastic matrix carbon fibre composites offer considerable potential for underwater
applications. Various material options exist but there are questions concerning the …

This paper shows how physical ageing and plasticization processes are coupled in an
amine-based epoxy. The study combines several ageing conditions including thermal …

This paper considers the effect of water content on mechanical properties of polyamide 6
when used in a humid environment. First an experimental section presents the tensile …

A simple model, based on spherical geometry, is applied to the description of release
kinetics of metal species from nano-and micro-plastic particles. Compiled literature data …

This paper investigates the water absorption of polyamide 6. The high amount of absorbed
water in the polymer and the large resulting decrease in the glass transition temperature (T …

In this study, the outstanding toughness effect and corresponding mechanism of poly (methyl
methacrylate)-polybutadiene-polystyrene (MBS) on polyamide 1012 (PA1012) was studied …

Polymers like poly (vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate)(PVPVA) or hydroxypropyl
methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) are commonly used as a matrix for amorphous …
