The effect of end groups on the low-temperature dielectric relaxation in poly(4,4′-oxydiphenylene pyromellitimide) has been studied using three kinds of samples with different content of anhydride end groups. The magnitude of the dielectric loss peak, designated here the V peak, which appears near -40°C at 1 kHz, depends on the content of anhydride end groups. If a sample with few anhydride end groups is allowed to absorb water, a loss peak appears near the temperature region of the V peak, but it disappears after subsequent heating. In contrast, a sample having a larger amount of anhydride end groups exhibits a large V peak which remains even after further heating. We conclude that the —O—portion of the anhydride end groups is responsible for the V peak, though there may be an additional contribution from absorbed water.
