Abstract

The creep and recovery behaviors of UHMWPE and UHMWPE/CNTs composite fibers at different temperature were studied using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). It was found that the creep strain of the UHMWPE and the UHMWPE/CNTs fibers increased with temperature rising. And creep strain of the composite fibers was always lower than that of the neat UHMWPE fiber. Burger’s model and Weibull distribution are employed to simulate the creep and recovery behaviors of the two fibers. The results show elasticity, stiffness and the recovery property of the composite fiber were improved by adding multi walled carton nanotubes.
