This paper presents the effects of hygrothermal aging on the durability of a pultruded flat sheet, immersed in distilled water at 25 °C, 40 °C, 60 °C or 80 °C for a period of 224 days. Elevated temperatures noticeably increase the moisture diffusion coefficient and moisture uptake behaviour. Measured changes in the te…

Despite having never been synthesized, the MAX phase Zr2AlC attracts a lot of interest owing to its foreseen properties. A possible way to circumvent this obstacle is to stabilize Zr2AlC by partially substituting one of its constituting elements. Here we report on attempts to synthesise quaternary MAX phases (Zr,M)2Al…
