The effect of a dispersed phase of small, hard particles on the creep behavior of two plastic crystals, camphene and succinonitrile, is investigated experimentally. Three models describing the creep deformation of a material containing hard particles are compared to the experimental data. Previous work has considered the particles to result in a constant friction stress which opposes creep deformation. The experimental results for plastic crystals are shown to be equally consistent with a model in which the friction stress is a linear function of the applied stress.
