Notes:
Polymer composite materials, as advanced materials have been widely used worldwide,especially in the advanced technology field, due to their outstanding properties. Nowadays, a growingattention has been paid to the environmental corrosion failure of composites. Since it is environmentrelated corrosion, the test parameters selected were temperature, humidity and ultraviolet. Among allthe environmental factors, the temperature, especially acts with humidity, is the most affective factor.In order to get detailed information, the weight gains of the samples tested were measured regularlyduring the test. By the comparison, it can be seen that the water absorption rate had been affectedremarkably due to the salt existence or the temperature change. The observation of the samplemicrostructure showed that there were many holes on the surface, indicating that the surface of thesamples was destroyed by the test, and that there were some interactions between the surface layerand the absorbed component. It is that only the effect of temperature and humidity was discussed inthis paper, the effect of the rest environmental factors will be discussed in following paper
