Effects of water immersion ageing on composites made of non-dry flax fibres

Abstract

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of water immersion ageing on flexural and water sorption properties of composites made of non-dry flax fibres (conditioned at 50% and 80% relative humidities) and resins that have low sensitivity to water. The experimental results showed that throughout the ageing study, composites made of non-dry fibre have lower moisture sorption and better flexural properties compared to composites made of dried fibre.
