Which risk increases when a carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite is under sustained high tensile stress in a humid environment?

💡 Explanation

Hydrolysis at the silane coupling agent increases because water molecules diffuse to the fiber-matrix interface, accelerating the hydrolysis reaction. This weakens the interfacial bonds, therefore leading to composite failure rather than solely thermal issues or polymer swelling.
