Torsional and tension‐torsion creep studies have been performed on cellulose acetate butyrate at 65°C. The aging shift factor, μ, at this temperature has been determined to be 0.85. This is somewhat higher than 0.75 which was suggested as a maximum value for cellulose acetate butyrate (5). Axial stresses cause the torsional retardation times to become shorter. The change in retardation time is mainly determined by the magnitude of the axial stress and not by the length of time during which the axial stress is applied. Torsional stresses cause the axial retardation times to shift in a similar manner. The shifting of retardation times follows a maximum shear stress criterion.
