Abstract
The viscoelastic behavior of a polystyrene matrix filled with hematite nano particles was investigated using the stress relaxation method. An increase in the elastic moduli of the composites, as well as in the magnitude of str ess relaxation was found with increasing content of the inorganic phase. Th e obtained results are discussed in terms of a one-process model.
