Effect of hot water on the mechanical performance of unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced nylon 6 composites - ScienceDirect
One of the major concerns of carbon fiber-reinforced nylon 6 composites (CF/Nylon 6) is its sensitivity to environmental degradation, especially hygrothermal aging. In this study, neat nylon 6 plates and unidirectional CF/Nylon 6 laminates with different fiber orientations manufactured by hot compression method were subjected to water absorption tests by immersing them in 80 °C and 98 °C hot water for various time durations.
