14. Dielectric spectroscopy experiments show a molecular relaxation occurring near 80 C.
15. There is one dipole per molecule with a strength of 4.2 D. The density of the material was assumed to be 1.1, slightly higher than for polystyrene. From this the total polarization can be calculated assuming all dipoles point in the same direction.
