The study of dipolar relaxation in chromophore-containing methacrylic copolymers using thermally stimulated depolarization current measurements

In this work the relaxation processes of chromophores containing copolymers are considered. These processes were studied using the method of thermostimulated depolarization technique. Thermograms for linear and branched azo-chromophore containing methacrylic copolymers were obtained and explained. A comparison of the obtained results demonstrates an increase in the activation energy of relaxation processes for branched copolymers.
