Abstract

The effect of water was studied on some physical and mechanical propertiesincluding (Roughness, Hardness, Compression Strength), and diffusion coefficientwas calculated using Ficks’ 2nd law for a polymeric composite materialsPVC+carbon black, Epoxy+Al powder, Epoxy + E-glass (chapped)), withvolume fraction Vf=30% reinforcement for all specimens, results showed thenegative effect of water on these properties which is differed between onespecimen and other, PVC+CB was affected more than Epoxy+E-glass thenEpoxy+Al powder and the diffusion coefficient (D) was less for Epoxy+Al thenPVC+CB and the less value was for Epoxy + E-glass .
