The dielectric properties of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) are studied by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy measurements in wide ranges of frequency (5–2×10 9 Hz) and temperature (193 − 300 K). PEO/water systems are also studied in a wide range of water content h (0 − 0.85 grams of water per grams of dry PEO). The measurements allow to distinguish between the dipolar secondary mechanism γ and effects related to free charge motion. The data are analyzed within the formalisms of permittivity, ϵ*, and electric modulus, M*. The water has been found to plasticize the dipolar process and to affect strongly the conduction process. A critical water content h c , h c = 0.13, has been found for the mechanism of charge transport.
