N2 - This paper presents an experimental study to investigate the effects of high temperature and seawater on the mechanical behavior of glass/polyurethane and glass/epoxy composite materials. These properties were analyzed in terms of degradation in physical and mechanical characteristics of the composite materials. Samples were immersed in seawater at room temperature (23°C) and 65°C for the duration of three years. It was observed that glass/polyurethane degrades at a faster rate than glass/epoxy under sea water environment. The tensile strength reduced to 67% and 97% for glass polyurethane and E-glass epoxy at 23°C respectively whereas it reduced by 56% and 39% at 65°C. However, slight variation was observed in modulus of elasticity of both composites.
