This paper investigated comparatively the temperature dependence of dielectric α relaxation process and dynamic mechanical α relaxation process.
Dynamic mechanical and dielectric loss data on a given polythylene terephthalate (PET) are generally viewed as being directly comparable.
This is based on the notion that, if each exhibits a loss peak at about the same temperature and frequency, they must be manifestations of the same process.
This supposes that the process couples in the exact same manner with both mechanical and electrical stress fields.
That this need be so may be seen from the fact that not only non polar process give rise to dynamic mechanical losses, but also dipolar losses.
The results obtained are as follows.
1) Dielectric α peak and dynamic mechanical α peck in PET are observed at almost same temperature correspondently.
2) The elongated sample exhibits the higher α peck at the almost same maximum temperature.
3) The magnitude, location and breadth of the α relaxation in PET are strong function of the degree of crystallinity and also the manner in which a particular degree of crystallinity is attained.
And the degree of crystallinity is changed with external conditions, that is, density, annealing. quenching, drawing, orientations and irradiation etc.
4) In the results of observation the absorption peak at 1,788 ?? on infrared spectra, the more bigger concentration of carbonyl dipole group was observed on the elongated sample.
