Prediction of long‐term service performance of polymeric materials from short‐term tests: Creep and prediction of the stress shift factor of a longitudinal polymer liquid crystal

Abstract The material studied is a longitudinal polymer liquid crystal (PLC). The creep behavior of the PLC is examined in the region of nonlinear viscoelasticity. The creep compliance D curves at nine different stress σ levels, from 10 to 50 J.cm −3 at a constant temperature are determined and shif... View More
