The potential for recovery of dielectric properties of three water-contaminated fiber-reinforced laminates is investigated using a split-post dielectric resonant technique at X-band (10 GHz). The three material systems investigated are bismaleimide (BMI) reinforced with an 8-harness satin weave quartz fabric, an epoxy resin reinforced with an 8-harness satin weave glass fabric (style 7781), and the same epoxy reinforced with a 4-harness woven glass fabric (style 4180). A direct correlation between moisture content, relative permittivity, and loss tangent was observed during moisture absorption by immersion in distilled water at 25°C for five equivalent samples of each material system. This trend is observed through at least 0.72% water content by weight for all three systems. The absorption of water into the BMI, 7781 epoxy, and 4180 epoxy laminates resulted in a 4.66%, 3.35%, and 4.01% increase in dielectric constant for a 0.679%, 0.608%, and 0.719% increase in water content by weight, respectively. Likewise, a significant increase was noticed in loss tangent for each material. The same water content is responsible for a 228%, 71.4%, and 64.1% increase in loss tangent, respectively. Subsequent to full desorption through drying at elevated temperature, the dielectric constant and loss tangent of each laminate exhibited minimal change from the dry, pre-absorption state. The dielectric constant and loss tangent change after the absorption and desorption cycle, relative to the initial state, was 0.144 % and 2.632% in the BMI, 0.084% and 1.709% in the style 7781 epoxy, and 0.003% and 4.511% in the style 4180 epoxy at near-zero moisture content. The similarity of relative permittivity and loss tangent in samples prior to absorption and after desorption suggests that any chemical or morphological changes induced by the presence of water have not caused irreversible changes in the dielectric properties of the laminates.
