Dielectric spectroscopy was employed to study the effects of water on primary alpha -relaxation and secondary beta xylitol. The measurements were made anhydrous xylitol mixtures with three different concentrations over a temperature range from 173 K 293 K. speeds up increasing concentration in xylitol, whereas rate is essentially unchanged. Some systematic differences behavior for observed. Our findings confirm all observations Nozaki et al. [J. Non-Cryst. Solids 307, 349 (2002)]]...

Broadband dielectric spectroscopy is employed to investigate the non-Debye relaxation behavior in a dendrimeric alkyd resin. From temperature-dependent measurements at ambient pressure, we found very broad distribution of times. This attributed complex geometrical topology molecule. However, compression significantly reduces character response; thus, pressure induces dynamic homogeneity
