Effect of the water absorptive capacity of reinforcing fibers on the process ability, morphology, and performance characteristics of composites produced from polyfurfuryl alcohol

Some matrix polymers, such as polyfurfuryl alcohol (PFA) generate water during the processing of fiber-reinforced polymer composites which slows down the process speed and may adversely affect the overall material properties. In this paper, the effect of the water absorbance characteristics of reinf...
