Moisture ingression in honeycomb core sandwich panels

  • 1. University of Iowa. Department of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Center for Laser Science and Engineering, 238 IATL (United States)

Description

Moisture ingression was studied in several composite sandwich panels, in which hydration was applied over a large surface area at the panel edges. Significant moisture ingression occurred in panels with cores of Korex (based on a substrate of a fiber pulp paper) and HRP (consisting of a woven-glass-fiber substrate with a polymer coating) of different density. Ingression was more rapid than in panels with hydration applied locally. Ingression followed an exponential pattern in time in most cases, in harmony with diffusion theory.
