Popis: The effect of the loading factor (the ratio of the conductive volume to the total volume) of a composite can lead to errors of 20% if not considered when interpreting dielectric‐loss measurements. Free‐carrier interfacial polarization is shown to be unimportant in the interpretation of the Maxwell‐Wagner effect for certain classes of composites contrary to currently accepted thought, whereas it can be important in the interpretation of the Dember effect for the same materials. Non‐Debye loss in cases where free‐carrier interfacial polarization is unimportant is shown to be caused by an additional frequency‐dependent component of the conductivity, e.g., that caused by dipole reorientation or conformational rearrangement.
