The dielectric relaxation zone of a low‐density polyethylene has been studied by thermally stimulated depolarization currents (TSDC) and thermal sampling (TS). Three relaxations have been found in this zone, which have been labeled γ I , γ II , and γ III in decreasing order of temperature. Samples of different crystallinities were subjected to several thermal treatments in order to study the molecular origin of each relaxation. The γ I relaxation intensity changes with the thermal treatment, while the intensity of the γ I relaxation is only slightly modified. Using TS it has been proved that the γ I relaxation fulfils the compensation law with a high level of significance. Nevertheless, the experimental data are not enough to verity the γ I and γ III relaxation.
