In a previous study, a mechanosorptive phenomenon in poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) fibers was reported. In this article, the mechanosorptive creep mechanism of aramid fibers and the temperature and stress influences on the mechanosorptive creep behavior of aramid fibers are addressed. Test results indicate that logarithmic creep rates and the mechanosorptive effects increase with temperature. The creep activation energies of the fibers tested are: 20 kJ/mole for the cyclic moisture condition, 4.4 kJ/mole for a high equilibrium moisture condition (RH = 95%), and 7.8 kJ/mole for a low equilibrium moisture condition (RH = 5%). Increase in stress may increase the logarithmic creep rates but may reduce the mechanosorptive effect. Aramid fibers contain hydrogen bonds between rodlike crystallites oriented at small angles relative to the fiber axis. Transient moisture conditions may cause slippage of hydrogen bonded elements and result in accelerated crystallite rotations due to breakage of hydrogen bonds, thus causing increases in logarithmic creep rate. The obtained activation energies and the reduction in fiber elastic compliance due to creep deformation support the proposed mechanisms. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
