Atactic polystyrene has been densified under hydrostatic pressure, up to 2 kbar, at about 180°C. Dielectric measurements were made on densified and nondensified polystyrene samples by using the thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) and the absorption and resorption current methods. The dielectric loss is modified by the densification. This effect can be explained in terms of the free‐volume reduction and the internal stress induced in the material during densification.
