Abstract
The effect of water was studied on some physical and mechanical properties
including (Roughness, Hardness, Compression Strength), and diffusion coefficient
was calculated using Ficks’ 2nd law for a polymeric composite materials
PVC+carbon black, Epoxy+Al powder, Epoxy + E-glass (chapped)), with
volume fraction Vf=30% reinforcement for all specimens, results showed the
negative effect of water on these properties which is differed between one
specimen and other, PVC+CB was affected more than Epoxy+E-glass then
Epoxy+Al powder and the diffusion coefficient (D) was less for Epoxy+Al then
PVC+CB and the less value was for Epoxy + E-glass .
