Abstract
The polymers which are used as the matrix in fibre reinforced plastics composites can absorb several percent of water by weight and this can have an adverse effect on the structural integrity of the composite. It is therefore important that the moisture content of such materials can be measured, preferably by non-destructive means. This paper reviews the techniques by which sensitive, reliable and quantitative measurements may be achieved.
