Abstract

The advanced resin systems are crucial for the application of GFRP in the practical marine engineering. Besides, the reliable performance data on GFRP exposed to marine environment are still lacking. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the durability-related performance of the GFRP laminates made up of the modified resin. In this experiment, the resin and GFRP laminate specimens were exposed to deionized water (DW), real seawater (RSW), simulated pore solutions of seawater sea sand concrete (SSCSPS) and real marine environment (RME). The results showed that the moisture absorption of GFRP laminates in SSCSPS was higher than that in DW and RSW due to the destruction of GFRP multiphase structures. The tensile strength of the resin exposed to RSW and RME after 90 days was improved due to its post-curing, while that of GFRP laminates decreased by 8–9 %. Besides, it was remarkable that the tensile strength retention of the resin and GFRP laminates immersed in SSCSPS after 90 days was decreased by more than 30 %. The modified prediction model was developed by considering the resin factor on tensile strength of GFRP laminates exposed to various environments. Furthermore, the deterioration mechanisms of GFRP laminates were discussed by morphology characterization.

期刊介绍： Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
