Abstract
Thermoplastic Polyamide (PA) is known as Nylon®, and its FRP are one of the engineering plastics. It is very important for them to reveal accurately the visco-elastic behavior. Furthermore, PA is a crystalline polymer, and it is necessary to consider the effect of crystallization on mechanical properties. The purpose of this study was to make clear the effect of crystallization and fiber volume fraction on creep behavior of PA and its composites. The creep test was performed using the materials which adjusted crystallinity on each fiber volume fraction. As a result, these materials conformed to Arrhenius type of time-temperature superposition principle, and these effects on creep behavior had the time retardation effect. To compare the creep behavior on these effects, we made the grand master curves for crystallinity and fiber volume fraction. Obtained two grand master curves were compared each other, the shapes of these curves are similarly, and we can superposed them. It is therefore, the creep behavior including each conditions have the same behavior. Using these curves and shift factors, we can calculate the creep behavior, and be able to estimate the creep behavior with the effect of arbitrary time, temperature, crystallinity and fiber contents.
