Abstract

The inherent viscoelasticity of the matrix phase, polymer composites are prone to creep and stress relaxation, making it a great challenge when they are used in long-term applications. Therefore, the main goal of the present study is to analyse the time-dependent behaviour of hybrid nanocomposites, and, for this purpose, experimental tests were carried out in compression, tensile and bending modes in which the load (for stress relaxation tests) and the displacement (for creep tests) were recorded during the loading time. It was possible to conclude, in terms of stress relaxation, that the bending mode had the lowest value, while the highest was observed for the tensile mode. In terms of creep behaviour, the tensile mode had the highest displacement while the bending and compression mode had similar values.
