Polymer composite materials, as advanced materials have been widely used worldwide, especially in the advanced technology field, due to their outstanding properties. Nowadays, a growing attention has been paid to the environmental corrosion failure of composites. Since it is environment related corrosion, the test parameters selected were temperature, humidity and ultraviolet. Among all the environmental factors, the temperature, especially acts with humidity, is the most affective factor. In order to get detailed information, the weight gains of the samples tested were measured regularly during the test. By the comparison, it can be seen that the water absorption rate had been affected remarkably due to the salt existence or the temperature change. The observation of the sample microstructure showed that there were many holes on the surface, indicating that the surface of the samples was destroyed by the test, and that there were some interactions between the surface layer and the absorbed component. It is that only the effect of temperature and humidity was discussed in this paper, the effect of the rest environmental factors will be discussed in following paper.

Abstract The mechanical behaviour of natural fibres as composite materials can be affected by changes in temperature and moisture content. The aim of this paper was to describe the effect of temperature and moisture content on tensile strength of false banana fibre (Ensete ventricosum) and to determine its water absorption. Samples of fibres were prepared and tested until rupture point with strain rate of 0.05 min−1 at temperature change between −20 and 220°C as well as moisture content between 10 and 90% wb. The water absorption and release of Ensete fibres at 60 and 90% relative humidity was also determined. Results showed that Ensete fibres exhibited stability of tensile strength in the temperature range from 0 to 100°C but the increase of temperature decreased statistically significantly the tensile strength. The effect of moisture content on tensile strength was not statistically significant. The equilibrium moisture content at 60% relative humidity and 25°C was determined.
