“…During prolonged immersion of the samples into water, the hydrophilic group of GF and polyester resin are attracted and chemical reaction takes place. As a result, weight reduction of composite materials may happen [21].…”

An experiment was carried out using glass fiber (GF) as reinforcing materials with unsaturated polyester matrix to fabricate composite by hand layup technique. Four layers of GF were impregnated by polyester resin and pressed under a load of 5 kg for 20 hours. The prepared composite samples were treated by prolonged exposure to heat for 1 hour at 60-150°C and compared with untreated GF-polyester composite. Different mechanical test of the fabricated composite were investigated. The experiment depicted significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the fabricated composite resulted from the heat treatment. The maximum tensile strength of 200.6 MPa is found for 90°C heat-treated sample. The mechanical properties of the composite do seem to be very affected negatively above 100°C. Water uptake of the composite was carried out and thermal stability of the composite was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, and it was found that the composite is stable up to 600°C. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy shows the characteristic bond in the composite. Finally, the excellent elevated heat resistant capacity of glass-fiber-reinforced polymeric composite shows the suitability of its application to heat exposure areas such as kitchen furniture materials, marine, and electric board.

“…For E Glass/vinyl ester, the seawater had a more severe impact on [90 4 For carbon/epoxy, the opposite happened in relation to glass/vinyl ester. Nevertheless, we can say that the impact is virtually the same since the very tight between the results obtained for the two media gap.…”

“…Moreover, an even more important recovery of absorption was identified before the continuous mass loss takes place. Several authors have recorded physical and chemical irreversible damage within the composite material (Kootsookos et al [4], G. Camino et al [5]). B and AR Dewimille Bunsell [6] studied an accelerated aging of a glass/polymer composite in distilled water at relatively high temperature.…”

“…However, several other environments can be expected to cause degradation to polymers and polymer composites; these include salt water 7,8 , and other common fluids, like diesel and petrol [9][10][11] . Although many works had already treated the problem of the interaction of several fluids with polymers and their composites [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] , generalization of the observed behavior is not, in many instances, a simple task. This is due to the fact that very particular interactions can occur between a specific composite and also the specific fluid under analysis; this aspect is especially true when the performance of a commercial material is being analyzed.…”
