Hydrothermal Ageing of Glass Fibre Reinforced Vinyl Ester Composites: A Review

James Thomason et al.

Summary: The use of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites in load-carrying constructions has increased significantly in recent decades. Vinyl ester (VE) resins are being increasingly used in these structural composites, and their long-term environmental exposure consequences need better understanding. Testing the environmental durability of new VE-based GFRPs is time-consuming and costly, and accelerated hydrothermal aging is often used. This paper reviews the literature on hydrothermal aging of VE-based GFRP, focusing on moisture-induced aging, voids, and the fiber-matrix interface on composite mechanical performance.
