Influence characteristics of water penetration on fibre‐reinforced polymer/rigid polyurethane foam interface of the composite cross‐arm considering natural ageing
Abstract:Fibre‐reinforced polymer (FRP)/rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) interface is susceptible to moisture intrusion in addition to natural ageing during operation. This study investigated the influence of moisture intrusion on the FRP/RPUF interface under natural ageing using experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Water absorption, shear strength, and leakage current tests were used to clarify the changes in the interface performance. The degradation mechanism of moisture intrusion at the interface unde… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
