AbstractThe complex dielectric permittivity has been measured in the 103−106 Hz frequency range for selected random copolyesters of poly(ethylene terephthalate). The variation of the dielectric properties with temperature has been qualitatively related mainly to two processes. The α relaxation, which is associated with the glass transition, has been shown to be dependent on the molecular order of the systems. The β relaxation process has been assigned to local motions of the ester groups attached to both sides of the aromatic rings. The β process is also shown to exhibit a dependence on molecular order.
