The laminates were produced with five different stacking sequences and subjected to water sorption testing at room temperature, 50 \u00b0C and 70 \u00b0C. This study consisted of two stages: experimental and theoretical stages. The composites had a fiber volume content ranging from 30% to 40%. Water absorption and diffusion coefficient in the hybrid composites were intermediate to those reinforced with a single type of fiber. There were no significant differences in these properties based on fiber arrangement once the composites reached saturation. Diffusion coefficient values were higher for specimens with jute fiber on at least one of the outer surfaces. Water sorption rates increased with higher immersion temperatures. The water sorption at saturation point was not affected by the manufacturing process. Among the hybrid composites, those with jute on the surfaces showed the highest diffusion coefficient, while those with glass on the surface had the lowest values. Higher diffusion coefficient values were observed at temperatures of 50 \u00b0C and 70 \u00b0C. The main influencing factors on the absorbed moisture content for composites are the presence and content of jute fibers in the system and the immersion temperature. The manufacturing process does not affect the water sorption at saturation point.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym15224438","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,17]],"date-time":"2023-11-17T00:49:47Z","timestamp":1700182187000},"page":"4438","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Water Sorption in Hybrid Polyester\/Glass\/Jute Composites Processed via Compression Molding and Vacuum-Assisted Resin Transfer Molding"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Rud\u00e1","family":"Aranha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela de Ingenier\u00eda Mec\u00e1nica, Pontif\u00edcia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valpara\u00edso 1, Valpara\u00edso 2340025, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario A.
