Annotation	Water desorption tests were conducted after immersing test pieces of polymer composites with epoxy resin, polypropylene (PP), or poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix containing 0, 3, 6, 9, and 30 wt. % of cellulose fibers from recycled paper with or without coupling agent maleic anhydride grafted PP in a distilled water bath at room temperature for 24 h. Study of the water desorption kinetics proved the expected enhanced absorption of the composites after incorporation of fibers and a difference between two similar types of PVA was found.
