Abstract  

In order to solve the difficulty related to the prediction for the aging behavior of composites in natural environment with the complexity of environmental factors, polyethylene was chosen as composite matrix, and subjected to natural exposure test in the marine atmospheric environment of Qingdao area for 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 24 months. Thereafter, based on the evolution of tensile and bending mechanical properties of the exposed polyethylene, by taking the consideration of the comprehensive influence of environmental factors into consideration, the natural weathering model with the radiation quantity as independent variable and the multi-factor superposition model with aging time as independent variable were established respectively. The results show that the tensile mechanical properties and bending mechanical properties of polyethylene both decreased with aging time and total solar irradiation in the marine atmospheric environment of Qingdao area. After exposure for 24 months, damages with micro-cracks occurred on the surface. The prediction error of natural weathering model for tensile and bending mechanical properties of polyethylene was less than 11.20%, while that of multi-factor superposition model was less than 3.07%. Therefore, the multi-factor superposition model had a better prediction precision.
