OS15-3-1 Estimation Corresponding to Temperature Change of Creep Behavior on Glass Fiber Reinforced-Polycarbonate

Abstract

Thermoplastic resin was practically used without post cure treatment and physical aging treatment which is called "molded material". For such materials, it is known that creep behavior and physical aging occur simultaneously. And the effect of physical aging has the time and temperature dependency. The effect was occurred on the materials after molded, and the effect saved on the materials as the thermal history. This history has big influence on mechanical properties, especially creep properties. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the progress of the physical aging. In this report, the creep deformation of polycarbonate (PC) was researched to grasp the effect of physical aging on creep behavior. Two types of materials were prepared. One was "molded material", and another was pre-physical aged material. It was confirmed that the effect had the time and temperature dependency, and it had been able to apply the time-pre-aging time superposition principle and time-pre-aging temperature superposition principle of physical aging on creep behavior. The estimation corresponding to temperature change of creep deformation became possible using this superposition principle. The estimation result of the creep deformation of glass fiber reinforced polycarbonate (GFRPC) with temperature change during a creep test had the tendency similar to the experimental data. Therefore, it should be able to estimate the creep behavior with arbitrary thermal history since the materials reached to the saturated state of physical aging.
