TLDR
In this paper, a composite model has been developed in which water ingress may be estimated by changes in overall elastic behaviour of the polymer, and the composite model gives values of the coefficient of diffusion, D, for the bulk adhesive in satisfactory agreement with those obtained by gravimetric analysis.About:

Free/bound water absorption in an epoxy adhesive
TL;DR: The classic Fickian approach for describing the kinetics of liquid diffusion/absorption in solids was supplemented some 25 years ago by the 2-phase model of Carter and Kibler, referred to by them (modestly) as "Langmuir-type".

Water absorption by an epoxy resin and its effect on the mechanical properties and infra-red spectra
B De'Nève,Martin E.R. Shanahan +1 more
TL;DR: A filled epoxy resin used as a structural adhesive and based on the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A cured with dicyandiamide has been subjected, in its bulk form, to ageing at 40, 55 and 70°C and ca. 100% relative humidity as discussed by the authors.

Environmental Failure of Structural Adhesive Joints
TL;DR: In this article, the deleterious effect of water on structural adhesive joints has been investigated using joints which consist of mild steel substrates bonded with a simple epoxy adhesive, and the mechanisms and kinetics of environmental failure have been identified and the instability of the joints in hostile environments successfully predicted from thermodynamic considerations.
