Parameters Influencing Moisture Diffusion in Epoxy-Based Materials during Hygrothermal Ageing-A Review by Statistical Analysis.

The hygrothermal ageing of epoxy resins and epoxy matrix composite materials has been studied many times in the literature. Models have been developed to represent the diffusion behaviour of the materials. For reversible diffusions, Fick, Dual-Fick and Carter and Kibler models are widely used.
