Abstract: Abstract: We investigated the microscopic origin of the excess wing through isothermal and isobaric dielectric relaxation measurements for the Quinaldine/tristyrene mixture. Our results show that the excess wing, characteristic of the high frequency side of the structural loss peak in neat Quinaldine, becomes a well resolved Johari–Goldstein secondary relaxation on mixing with the apolar tristyrene. Analyzing the temperature and pressure behavior of the two processes, a clear correlation has been found between the structural relaxation time, the Johari–Goldstein relaxation time and the dispersion of the structural relaxation (i.e. its Kohlrausch parameter). These results support the idea that the Johari–Goldstein relaxation acts as a precursor of the structural relaxation and therefore of the glass transition phenomenon. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
