The structural (α-) relaxation in diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) has been examined using three spectroscopic methods: dielectric spectroscopy (DS), dynamic light scattering–photon correlation spectroscopy (LS), and mechanical spectroscopy. The DS and LS measurements were carried out as a function of both temperature and pressure. Moreover, pressure-volumetemperature measurements were obtained for the DGEBA. These data allow an assessment of the relative contributions of thermal energy and free volume to structural relaxation in DGEBA. The results clearly show a substantial role for both thermal and free volume fluctuations in the dramatic slowing down of the dynamics. The combined temperature- and pressure-dependences of the dielectric and light scattering relaxation times were analyzed using the Avramov equation, implying that the fragility (normalized temperature dependence) is pressure independent over the studied range of pressures. The pressure dependence was the same as measured by the different spectroscopies. Conformance to the time-temperature-pressure superposition principle was also observed for all measurement techniques.
