Abstract
We used broadband dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range from 10–2 Hz up to 107 Hz and we found dynamics of the primary α - and intermolecular Johari-Goldstein (JG) β -processes are strongly correlated in diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A over a wide temperature from 193 to 283K and pressure P range from 0.1 to 600 MPa. Analysing the temperature and pressure behavior of the α - and (JG) β -processes, a clear correlation has been found between the structural relaxation time, the Johari-Goldstein relaxation time and the dispersion of the structural relaxation. These results support the idea that the Johari-Goldstein relaxation acts as a precursor of the structural relaxation and therefore of the glass transition phenomenon.
