Abstract

Useful insight into the mechanism of fluid ingress into polymers and polymeric composites can be gained by noting and interpreting the so-called “reverse thermal effect.” The earliest discovery of this phenomenon was made independently and interpreted differently (Apicella et al. 1979; Adamson 1980).
