soakendurance
Soakendurance is a coined term used in materials science and engineering to describe the ability of a material, coating, or component to retain its functional properties after prolonged exposure to liquid immersion or soaking. The concept covers resistance to hydrolytic degradation, swelling, leaching of additives, and deterioration of mechanical or functional performance under immersion.
Assessment typically involves exposing specimens to a chosen soaking medium (often water or a relevant solvent)
Influencing factors include medium chemistry (pH, salinity, solvent polarity), temperature, exposure time, material composition, microstructure, and
Applications of soakendurance data include design optimization for products intended for wet or humid environments, such
