## Abstract In previous articles, we reported the change in physical properties of hydrophobic polymers caused by absorption of a very small amount of water. This article describes the changes in physical properties of three polyesters owing to absorption of water. The tested polymers were poly(eth

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we report the changes in physical properties of polycarbonate caused by absorbed water and supply basic data for the application of this effect. Absorbed water increases monotonously with increase in relative humidity. Along with the increase in absorbed water, the relaxation time of the 6 process increases, the glass transition temperature rises, the area of the endothermic peak at the glass transition temperature increases, and the dynamic Young's modulus decreases. We conclude that the absorbed water fills holes but does not function as a crosslinking agent.
