Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were synthesized using alcohol catalyst chemical vapor deposition ACCVD method using ethanol and were characterized with TEM. The prepared SWCNTs were incorporated with different concentrations in Poly(vinyl chloride) with different concentrations. The effect of both SWCNTs concentrations and temperature on creep and creep recovery of PVC were studied. Burger?s model was applied to the region of creep and material parameters like instantaneous elastic modulus, Voigt elastic modulus and viscosity, Newtonian viscosity and linear thermal expansion coefficient were calculated at different concentrations of SWCNTs and different temperatures. These parameters were found to have a maximum at 1 wt % of SWCNTs and also found to decrease with increasing temperature. The recovery relaxation time was calculated and the activation energy of chains upon heating was calculated and samples containing 5 wt% of SWCNTs was found to have a maximum of 0.36 eV.
