Abstract
An experimental investigation has established coherent data sets describing effects of moisture absorption upon swelling and glass transition of an epoxy resin. Equilibrium moisture absorption levels and resultant swelling can be represented by power law functions of relative humidity and quantity of absorbed moisture, respectively. Depression of glass transition temperature is shown to be described by a relationship derived from free‐volume theory.
