Water absorption and its effect on the tensile and impact properties of polyarylate was studied by immersing polyarylate specimens in water baths, between 23 and 98°C. The diffusivity was calculated to be 11 X lo-' cm2/s at 23°C with an activation energy of 9.8 kcal/mole. The aromatic ester in polya

The absorption of moisture, from liquid as well as gaseous states of water, is known to strongly influence the properties of many polymeric materials. In this article, we examine the unusually high affinity for water of acrylic-based latex blend films, which lose their transparency and turn white up
## Abstract The effect of water and isooctane absorption on the flexural fatigue strength of a sheet molding compound (SMC‐R30) is investigated. Absorption of water reduces the fatigue life of specimens of SMC‐R30 as compared to the fatigue life of specimens tested in air. Absorption of isooctane r
