Popis: Measurements on the creep behavior of injection moldedstyrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) samples are described andanalyzed. It is shown that the processing conditions have a distincteffect on the tendency to creep and that the differences in creepbehavior are mainly due to differences in frozen-in free volume, whereasthe different state of molecular orientation and internal stress haveonly a neglegible effect on the creep behavior. In addition, the timebetween processing and testing of the material plays an important rolefor the deformation behavior of the amorphous polymer; this phenomenonis known as physical aging. A slower cooling rate during thesolidification of the injection molded part, as well as a longer agingtime, lead to a reduced free volume and therefore to a reduced tendencyto creep.
