Abstract
In this paper, we report a systematic study of the dielectric relaxation spectroscopy of biodegradable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) polyester which has potential applications as a "green" dielectric material in electronic devices. The dielectric spectra was measured over a wide frequency range (100∼ 107Hz) from -100 to 60°C. A glass and a sub-glass transition relaxations were observed in the dielectric spectra of PHBHHx. In addition, a nearly constant loss behavior was found by analyzing the dielectric and conductivity spectra.
