چکیده
|
The kinetic and characteristics of water absorption of cocoa-pod husk filler reinforced epoxy composite by short-term immersion at room temperature was studied. composite specimen containing 5, 10, 20 and 30% filler volume fraction were prepared. the percentage of moisture uptake increased as the fibre volume fraction increased due to the high cellulose content of cocoa-pod husk. results indicate that a d value of 105.8 x 10^-7 m²/s at 30% volume fraction was obtained.the process of absorption of water was therefore found to follow the kinetics and mechanism described by fick's law.
