Sub-Ts relaxations in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and in narrow molecular weight polystyrene (PS) thin films with and without second order nonlinear optical dyes have been examined using time domain dielectric spectrometry. Dyes used include 4-[N, N-dimethylamino]-4’-nitrostilbene (DANS) and 4-[N-ethyl, N-hydroxyethylaminoJ-4’-nitroazobenzene (DR1) at a level of 0.19 mole percent. In dye/PS blends, dye relaxations are seen to occur at frequencies similar to the frequencies of the β-relaxation of pure PS below the glass transition temperature. Analysis of the glassy phase dispersion leads us to conclude that, at near room temperature, appreciable dye reorientation occurs on a time scale of a few seconds. This dye reorientation is coupled to the dynamic motions of the localized polystyrene subunits. Experiments using dye in PMMA did not conclusively reveal dye motions because of the intrinsically large dispersion of PMMA itself. The β-relaxation frequency range is higher in the PMMA dye/polymer blend than in dye-containing PS implying dye reorientation would likewise occur more rapidly than in PS. Our results indicate that the randomization of dye orientation observed in a dye/polymer system depends on the rapid, local chain motions which continue at temperatures well below the glass transition temperature, as well as on the long range, slow relaxations associated with the glass-to-rubber transition.
