Exposure of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites in Seawater and the Effect on Their Physical Performance

An innovative testing methodology to evaluate the effect of long-term exposure to a marine environment on Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRPs) has been investigated and is presented in this paper. Up to one-year ageing was performed in seawater, to simulate the environment for offshore oil and ga...
