Study of Water Absorption Behaviour of Glass Fibre Composite Filled with Filler: A Review

Water absorption behaviour is an important property of the composite which decides its durability and outer application. Polymer composite has wide applications from household applications to aerospace applications. It is obvious that it faces many environmental challenges during its application. Water absorption is one of the important challenges for materials especially glass fibre reinforced polymer composite (GFRP). GFRP is the most popular fibre in polymer composite which has got a lot of attention due to its several benefits over metal. Its utilisation can be increased further by improving its property through the addition of the third phase i.e., filler in the polymer matrix composite. In the present paper review the water absorption behaviour of glass fibre composite with and without filler addition.
