Abstract :
An analysis of moisture transport through the bulk of a crosslinked epoxy has been performed experimentally and by molecular dynamics simulations. It was shown that results of the diffusion coefficient compare well for the investigated system and an analysis of the activation energy gives reasonable agreement between experiment and simulation.
