Relaxation spectra have been measured at 20 degreesC for mono-, di- and tri
ethanolamine in the pure liquid state and in a 0.6 mold fraction mixture wi
th 1,4-dioxane. The general resemblance to the dielectric behaviour of alco
hols and aminoalcohols shows that relaxation is governed by association eff
ects. In this regard, several features point to significantly differing beh
aviour of the mono compound in comparison with both di- and triethanolamine
.
