In this study, the main features of dielectric relaxation in carbon black epoxy composites are discussed using several types of complementary modelling (i.e., the Cole-Cole phenomenological equation, Jonscher s universal dielectric response, and an approach that relies on a continuous distribution of relaxation times). These methods of characterizing the relaxation were conducted below Tg. Through the numerical model we can obtain the characteristic effective relaxation time and exponents straightforwardly. However, the true relaxation spectrum can be obtained from the distribution of relaxation times calculated from the complex dielectric permittivity. Over the compositional range explored, relaxation occurs by a Vogel-Tammam-Fulcher-like temperature dependence within the limits of experimental accuracy.
