Sea water durability of vinyl ester/nanocomposites

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the environmental vulnerabilities of polymeric composites, the book explores how moist and variable temperature conditions affect their mechanical properties, particularly in the offshore oil and shipbuilding industries. It highlights the significance of understanding the impact of seawater on composite materials, detailing various studies on moisture absorption and degradation. The research emphasizes that different atmospheric conditions and salt types can lead to distinct degradation mechanisms. A comparative analysis of the effects of seawater on FRP composites is presented.
