What is Water Absorption

Handbook of Research on Advancements in Manufacturing, Materials, and Mechanical Engineering
The effect of water absorption on the mechanical properties of flax reinforced bio epoxy composites has been studied by the immersion of the samples in water at room temperature. It shows that water absorption increases with an increase in fibre weight fraction due to a higher cellulose content.

Abstract
The present research investigation aims to fabricate a new class of fiber reinforced composite material by using biodegradable materials with epoxy as the strengthening agent. In order to explore the possibilities of using the new class of composite material in required application areas, the research work is carried out mainly in the field of the acoustic absorption properties of these bio fibers as an alternate building material. Also, the utilization of these materials as sound insulation will also provide a good solution to the waste management.
