Abstract
An approach for the dipole relaxation in polymers is treated considering the dipole-dipole interaction between the molecules. The thermally stimulated depolarization peak parameters, i.e., the activation energy E, the pre-exponential factor tau(0), and the dipole interaction strength parameter q, were evaluated; using the iterative technique. Good results are obtained in comparison with other methods. A linear relationship between the activation energy and the logarithm of the pre-exponential factor of the relaxation times is existing confirming the operation of the compensation law.
