An experimental study of moisture diffusion in three high temperature epoxy resin matrix advanced composite materials - Narmco's T300/5208, Hercules' AS/3501-5, and AVCO's Boron (4 mil fibers)/5505 - was undertaken to aid in determining the amount of moisture that might be absorbed by an epoxy composite structural component during its service life. The moisture sorption and desorption behavior was measured at 33 different hygrothermal conditions. Non-Fickian diffusion anomalies were observed for T300/5208 specimens exposed either at elevated temperatures while in high humidities or for interval sorption experiments.
