Abstract
The absorption and desorption of water by seven composite materials are diffusion processes, with the diffusion coefficient decreasing with concentration. The magnitude of the diffusion coefficients were consistent with diffusion occurring in the resin phase. Although most materials showed reversible behavior during repeated sorption-desorption cycles, one material showed irreversible breakdown.Keywords
