Hygrothermal ageing of reprocessed polylactide [PDF]

open access: yesPolymer Degradation and Stability, 2012
The influence of an accelerated hygrothermal ageing simulation test on a commercial PLA and its three subsequent mechanically-reprocessed materials was studied. The analysis was focused on the water diffusion kinetics and the physico-chemical changes induced by the hygrothermal degradation.

Hygrothermal aging of polyimide matrix composite laminates [PDF]

open access: yesComposites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2003
Two polyimide-matrix systems were subjected to a series of hygrothermal aging experiments at various temperatures and relative humidities. For each aging condition, we measured the microcracking fracture toughness as a function of aging time. The toughness decreased with time. The rate of decrease increased with temperature and relative humidity.

Fuel cell rejuvenation of hygrothermally aged Nafion® [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Power Sources, 2012
Abstract Nafion ® membranes stored for long periods at 80 °C under elevated relative humidity up to 95%RH exhibit large modifications of their properties attributed to the sulfonic acid end-group condensation into sulfonic anhydrides. The present study is devoted to the membrane property rejuvenation, namely the hydrolysis of the sulfonic anhydrides
