Models for the water uptake behavior of epoxy-clay nanocomposites are presented. Diffusion models for epoxy including Fick's law, the Langmuir model of diffusion, diffusion with time-varying diffusivity, and diffusion models for composites are reviewed. Models for the diffusivities of exfoliated and intercalated nanocomposites are developed. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
