Influence of water ageing on mechanical properties and damage events of two reinforced composite materials: Flax–fibres and glass–fibres (2011, background): “works have shown that the degradation of mechanical properties with moisture uptake can be reduced by the use of fibre treatment and chemical surface treatment [5,6].”
