Popis: In this work, we investigate the diffusion behaviour of twill flax fabrics reinforced thermoplastic and thermosetting composites elaborated by the vacuum infusion technique. Water absorption tests were conducted by immersing composite specimens into tap and salt water at room temperature. In particular, the effects of aspect ratio, thickness and fibre orientation are considered. The principal three-dimensional (3D) diffusion parameters are identified by 3D Fick’s and Langmuir’s models using an optimization algorithm. It is found that the flax reinforced thermoplastic composite absorbs less water than the flax thermoset composite. In addition, the obtained absorption curves indicate that the equilibrium mass gain linearly increases with fibre orientation, decreases with thickness and strongly related to the diffusion rate. Furthermore, 3D water diffusion kinetics are shown to depend on the samples aspect ratio and governed by a privileged direction.
