Abstract
Moisture absorption data obtained for jute and glass-epoxy composites under the influence of identical internal factors are presented. The observed dissimilarities in behavior are described in terms of different composite schematic models depicting the typical flow paths in both types of materials. The relative composite permeabilities are discussed in terms of typical fiber permeabilities and the diffusion paths preferred by the moisture in the composites. Then, the influence of external factors on the moisture absorption characteristics of permeable and impermeable jute-epoxy, glass, and graphite-epoxy composites is reported.
