• Characterization of sea water ageing effects on mechanical properties of carbon/epoxy composites for tidal turbine blades (2015, background): “The absorption of water molecules in polymer composites is known to have important effects on their final performance [11] [12], especially in their long-term exploitation [13], [14].”
• Effects of corrosive environments on properties of pultruded GFRP plates (2014, background): “The fibers’ longitudinal direction was marked in each sample, and the edges were specially sealed with the matrix resin [7], which was cured before the samples were immersed in the solutions.”
• Effect of Seawater and Warm Environment on Glass/Epoxy and Glass/Polyurethane Composites (2010, background): “Similar effects were observed in carbon/polyester and carbon vinyl ester composites [2].”
• Recent advances in fibre-hybrid composites: materials selection, opportunities and applications (2019, background): “Several authors [87,88] reported 15–25% reductions in flexural strength for glass/polyester and glass/vinylester composites after being immersed in sea water.”
