Abstract

In order to investigate the durability of fiber-reinforced polymer composites in hygrothermal environments, hygrothermal accelerate aging tests, for 360 days at 70 °C, RH70%; 70 °C, RH85%; 85 °C, RH70%; and 85 °C, RH85% and natural storage for 2 years in Guangzhou, China, were carried out for composite laminates. Then, the moisture absorption and interlaminar shear strength were measured. The hygrothermal damage mechanism of the composite was studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FSEM). A dual stress storage life prediction model and the equivalent relationship between natural storage and hygrothermal acceleration were established. The results show that the order of moisture absorption rates, moisture absorption contents, and the severity effect order on the interlaminar shear strength is RH85%; 85 °C > 70 °C; RH85% > 85 °C; RH70% > 70 °C; and RH70%. The time to achieve an effective moisture absorption balance is opposite to this. The moisture absorption rate meets Fick’s law before the effective moisture absorption balance, and then shows a linear trend. The interlayer shear strength still decreases exponentially with aging, which is mainly caused by the resin plasticization and interface weakening. Hygrothermal accelerated aging for 13.4831 days at 85 °C; RH85% is equivalent to that for one-year actual storage in Guangzhou. According to the failure criterion of shear strength decreasing to 77%, the storage life of T700/epoxy in Guangzhou is 14.4661 years.
