  Abstract

assessed by monitoring the evolution of fl exural modulus and fl exural strength during the hydrothermal aging exposure process. Clearly, a prominent eff ect of the temperature is discerned, where after a duration of 120-day conditioning, approximately 65% and 35% of the fl exural strength is retained at 60 째C and 80 째C, respectively, whereas a slight decrease of the fl exural modulus is observable. This variation is probably ascribed to the progressive deterioration induced by the degradation of the PC matrix and interface failure. Moreover, the long-term performance of CF/PC laminates is estimated based on the Arrhenius related methodology and the time뱓emperature superposition principle and the composites remain above the fl exural strength retention of 60% for more than 1.4 years. Finally, experimental fi ndings reveal that a slight reduction in the T g and thermal resistance is observed with increasing exposure temperatures and prolonged durations.
