The Ageing Effect on Static and Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites under Marine Environment- A Review

Seawater aging effect on fiber-reinforced polymer composites: Mechanical properties, aging mechanism, and life prediction

“…The variation law of the tensile strength retention of composites with different reinforcing fibers in a room-temperature seawater environment is shown in Figure 5(d). It can be concluded that under the same matrix, the CFRP composites have the best durability, and the tensile strength retention of the GFRP composites decreases slowly compared to BFRP composites, 32,43,44 which is consistent with the conclusion of Wang et al. 42 The resin residues on the fiber surface of the BFRP composite are the least.…”

“…Meanwhile, CF is relatively stable with no hydrolysis reaction occurring. 32 This is because CF is made of flake graphite crystallites stacked along the axial direction of the fiber. The microcrystalline graphite material obtained by carbonization and graphitization has a carbon content of more than 95%, which is extremely inert and does not absorb water.(4) (5) (6)…”

Insight into the microplastics release from disposable face mask: Simulated environment and removal strategy

“…The melt-blown fibers bonded together insecurely through the melt blowing process ( Wu et al, 2022 ). However, the exposure to the NaCl solution might result in the debonding between fibers, and polymer composites also suffered from the aging effect of salt water on mechanical properties ( Shreepannaga et al, 2022 ). It could be speculated that the incubation in salt water might decrease the stability of the fiber network in DFMs and therefore, release more MPs.…”

Accelerated Aging of Polymeric Composites Based on Waste with TiO2 Fillers

“…Over time, under the action of a complex of factors, the polymer composites undergo a series of transformations known as “aging”. Aging is a natural process consisting of irreversible chemical and physical changes, which all materials experience over time. , In this sense, aging has two main components: the development process in which the material forms an internal microstructure and the degradation process, in which it loses its integrity. , Both methods involve physico-chemical reactions, but often mechanical processes also take place.…”
