Abstract:Influence of isothermal dipping in hot distilled water for 200 ks on the mass gain of carbon fiber reinforced polyimide (CFRP) was investigated. Dipping in distilled water raised the mass gain. Based on the kinetics equation, both reaction index (n) and kinetic constant (k) were obtained. Since the n value is approximately 0.6 from 333 to 373 K, the reaction mode was independent on the absorption temperature. Based on the results and discussion, the water absorption was probably the directional mass transport … Show more
