Abstract

In this articlemoisture diffusion characterization ofcarbon fiber based polymeric composites (5428/CCF300 and 5405/CCF300) under recurrent hygrothermal ageingis investigated experimentally and numerically. Diffusion kinetics is studied by using Fickian and Langmuir diffusion models.Compositeinterface surfaces were closely studied by electron microscopy during the absorption/ desorption process, which revealed that micro-crack near weak interface provide passages for water diffuse.To simulate harsh service environment,understudied specimens were go throughhigh humidity and high temperature(85°C and 120 °C) conditions and then interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) properties of composites were determined. This study found that the interface property has effect on absorption/ desorption behaviour as well on ILSS.Validation of experimental results is carried out by using finite element analysis.In sum, this research attempts to analyze the behavior of carbon fiber composites underrecurrent hygrothermal environmentfor the purposes oflong-term service prediction.
