Abstract

Absorption of water in epoxy adhesives containing different types of fillers was studied after immersion in distilled water and in NaCl solutions during several periods of time. The amount of water uptake in the adhesives was found to increase with the concentration of water-soluble fillers incorporated in the adhesive matrix. The water absorption behaviour of the adhesives investigated was found to be non-Fickian. Owing to reverse osmosis, the amount of water absorbed in the adhesives decreases with the concentration of the bulk NaCl solution.
