The dielectric behavior of poly(vinyl alcohol) –PVA– crosslinked hydrogels obtained by the repeated freezing/ thawing (F/T) technique have been investigated by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crosslinked polymer is produced by the clustering of chains caused by the association of a polar group of the dissolved polymer followed by polymer crystallization. The dielectric spectra obtained from -50 °C to -10 °C show a broad secondary relaxation process associated to local mobility, ß relaxation, which is related to the terminal polar groups (OH). This process is strongly affected by the freezing/thawing cycles applied. The values of tan d are below 1 indicating the dielectric phenomenon is predominant in all samples. The effect of crosslinking PVA on the dynamics of the secondary relaxation process was further analyzed.
Resumen: Por medio de espectroscopia dieléctrica (DRS) y calorimetría diferencial de barrido (DSC) se investigaron las propiedades dieléctricas de los hidrogeles de alcohol polivinílico –PVA– entrecruzados por ciclos repetidos d la técnica congelamiento/descongelamiento. La asociación de los grupos polares del polímero disuelto seguida de su cristalización produce la reticulación del polímero. La espectroscopia dieléctrica obtenida entre -50 °C y -10 °C demostró la existencia de un proceso de relajación secundario asociado con la movilidad de grupos laterales polares OH de la cadena principal, la relajación b. Los ciclos de congelamiento/descongelamiento afectan fuertemente este proceso. El fenómeno dieléctrico predomina en todas las muestras como lo evidencia el valor menor de 1 de tan d. Además, se analizó el efecto del entrecruzamiento en la dinámica de la relajación secundaria.
