These two epoxy resin systems were chosen to allow the dielectric response to be studied from above and below the glass transition, as Araldite CY1311 is a modified version (with added plasticizer)of Araldite CY1301. The dielectric response was found to comprise both bulk and interfacial features. Above the glass transition temperature, two processes were identified, a low frequency process usually ascribed to interfacial polarization is shown to be a bulk process termed Quasi-DC (QDC)conduction and a dielectric dispersion usually taken to be a bulk process has been shown to be an interfacial effect UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SS3DyIGuSnPTg_BnxFc2fXaI-BDpzmmI/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
