heal.abstract	Glass fabric/polyester composites of varying interfacial strengths have been subjected to water absorption cycles. Modification of the interfacial strength was achieved through different surface treatments of the fabrics. In particular, composites containing clean glass fabrics, fabrics treated with a silane coupling agent and fabrics coated with a polydimethylsiloxane elastomer have been studied. Specimens were immersed in water for a short period of time, dried and subjected to three more reabsorption steps. Measurements of the interlaminar shear strength throughout the sorption-desorption cycles allowed estimation of the interfacial contribution to the absorption behavior. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
