Abstract
The effects of environment on glass fiber reinforced polyester and vinylester composites immersed in liquids and in humid air were investi gated. Tests were performed at temperatures 23 C and 93 C with the materials exposed to humid air at 50 and 100 percent relative humidities, and to five different liquids: saturated salt water, No. 2 diesel fuel, lubrica ting oil, antifreeze, and indolene. Changes in weight, ultimate tensile strength, tensile modulus, short beam shear strength, and shear modulus were measured over a six month period, and the effects of the environment on these parameters were assessed.
