Abstract

The long‐term water absorption behavior of UD and ±45 carbon fiber/977‐2 epoxy composite and unreinforced 977‐2 epoxy resin has been studied at different environments with various temperatures and relative humidities. Fickian behavior was noticed initially followed by a slight and continuing increas...
