Polymer chain dynamics in epoxy based composites as investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy by Hassan, Mohammad K.

“…Secondary relaxations and the glass transitions of resultant networks were probed using broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS). A sub-Tgγ relaxation peak for both networks shifts to higher frequencies (f) with increasing temperature in Arrhenius fashion, both processes having the same activation energy and being assigned to phenyl ring flipping in DGEBA chains. …”
