Abstract

The effect of nanotubes and nanofibres on the stress relaxation of nanocomposites based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was studied. It was found that a very low concentration of multiwall nanotubes (0.1 wt%) leads to a significant increase in the relaxing stresses over the entire period of relaxation. Generalised curves of the relaxation process were plotted, and it was found that the greatest reinforcing effect is rendered by the multiwall nanotubes with the greatest specific surface.
