appreciably. This difference in behaviour of the molecular and small relaxing segment of a molecule is the very basis on which separation of the group and molecular motions may be achieved in the matrix and eliminates the complicationswhich can sometimes ensue with a Budo analysis of the dielectric data of polar solutions in the liquid phase. [19] Clearly, much more work is necessary on the dielectric absorption of flexible molecules in various types of polymer matrices where, from that reported here, it follows that one polymer matrix may better facilitate the separation of particular molecular and intramolecularprocesses more readily than another.
