Many polymers absorb moisture from the ambient atmosphere. As the water molecule is polar,
it can easily form hydrogen bonds with polar functional groups in polymers. First, moisture
condenses at the filament surface (so-called surface moisture), but after some time moisture
will also penetrate inside the material (so-called bulk moisture). Both moisture types have a
tremendous negative effect on the processing of the most polymer materials when water reacts
with polymer molecules and breaks them into smaller ones (hydrolysis)
