Summary Electrical-impedance measurements have been made in the frequency range 5 Hz to10 MHz in pure poly(ethylene oxide) having a molecular weight of 600 000 from 254 K nearly up to the melting point of the crystalline phase (about 330 K). As the temperature approaches the melting point there are large increases in the realε′ and imaginaryε″ parts of the dielectric constant. The frequency dependence ofε′ is characterized by a primary-relaxation process, whose frequency increases with increasing temperature as a consequence of decrease of the average structural relaxation time. There is strong evidence that this low-frequency dispersion rises mainly from the diffusive transport of localised charge carriers rather than a purely orientation relaxation process. In addition the effects of hydrostatic pressure (0–25 Gpa) on the frequency dependences of the realε′ and imaginaryε″ parts of the dielectric constant have been measured in the same temperature range.
