Abstract

The article describes processes of surface moistening and moisture sorption with a polymer material using known physical dependencies. Moisture saturation depends on size of pores, surface contact angle (polymer hydrophilicity), temperature and pressure. It is shown that moisture saturation leads to the formation of a moisture content gradient and gradual destruction, cracking, aging and discoloration of the polymer from the surface due to tensile stresses in the presence of a moisture gradient between the surface and inner layers of the polymer material.
