Carbon Fiber Reinforced

The usage of polymer composites in various engineering fields has increased. However, the long-term service performance of such materials under aggressive conditions is still poorly understood, which limits the development of safe and economically effective designs. In this study, the aging of an epoxy resin and its carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites upon immersion in water, acidic, and alkaline solutions was evaluated at different temperatures. The service life of the CFRP composites under various conditions could be predicted by the Arrhenius theory. The thermal and mechanical analysis results indicated that the CFRP composites were more vulnerable to HCl owing to the higher moisture absorption and diffusion of HCl into their cracks. The scanning electron microscopy results showed that the polymer matrix was damaged and degraded. Therefore, to allow long-term application, CFRP composites must be protected from acidic environments.
