- Effect of water absorption on pultruded jute/glass fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester hybrid composites (2012, background): “During immersion in the aqueous environments, all the voids and cracks within the composite would be filled with water, and the absorbed water molecules act as a plasticizer, to improve its bending strength and stiffness.(28) However, excessive water absorbed may weaken the fiber–matrix interface.”
