An approach for the dipole relaxation in polymers is treated considering the dipole–dipole interaction between the molecules. The thermally stimulated depolarization peak parameters, i.e., the activation energyE, the pre‐exponential factor &tgr;0, and the dipole interaction strength parameterq, were evaluated using the iterative technique. Good results are obtained in comparison with other methods. A linear relationship between the activation energy and the logarithm of the pre‐exponential factor of the relaxation times is existing confirming the operation of the compensation law. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
