The purpose of diploma thesis was to find out linear behaviour of polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) at high shear stress 8,4 MPa and thus predict the lifetime of material. Linearity at lower shear stress 0,1 MPa has already been determined and has confirmed the linearity of material. Determination of linear behaviour at high shear stress has been done with shear creep compliance test and analyzing shear creep curves. Measurements have been done at several different temperatures going from 90 °C to 210 °C and increasing temperature by 10 °C for each new measurement. With a help of time-temperature superposition master and isochronal curves have been made. The results have shown that material has linear behaviour up to 30 years. From there on the effects of current nonlinearity are observed. Current nonlinearity slowly transforms into time-dependent nonlinearity with passing time. The conclusion is that behaviour of polyphenylsulfone can be predicted up to 30 years lifetime.
