The behaviour of polypropylene nanocomposites containing different amounts of commercial nanoclay upon exposure to distilled water and sea water at different temperatures was investigated and Compared with that of neat polypropylene. In the initial stages, the weight gain (moisture absorption) follows Fick's second law, but at longer times deviations are observed owing to physical degradation and in some cases a loss of mass. Distilled water diffuses more rapidly than sea water. As the nanoclay content increases, both the rate of moisture absorption and the maximum moisture content increase, owing to the hydrophilic nature of the nanoclay and the added compatibilizing agent. Although the moisture absorption decreases the flexural Properties of both the nanocomposites and neat PP, because the unexposed (as-moulded) nanocomposites are significantly superior to the neat PP they remain so even after prolonged exposure.
