Resumen
Complex permittivity of poly(4-tetrahydropyranyl methacrylate) (P4THPMA) was measured by dielectric spectroscopy. The spectra obtained show several relaxation processes labeled as delta, gamma, beta, and alpha in increasing order of temperature. These processes have been characterized and assigned to specific molecular motions. Comparison of the dielectric activity obtained for P4THPMAwith those reported for poly(1,3-dioxan-5-yl-methacrylate) (PDMA) and poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) (PCHMA) was performed. In fact, these three polymers have similar chemical structures with aliphatic rings in the ester residue. However, significant differences between the dielectric behavior of these polymers have been observed. In addition, complementary molecular mechanic (MM) calculations have been carried out. The energy barriers obtained by these calculations lead to energy barriers which are in relatively good agreement with those derived from the dielectric measurement by means Arrhenius plots.
