ABSTRACTTemperature dependence of measured dielectric relaxation spectra (DRS) in the frequency range 20 Hz - 1 MHz of hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) are in the temperature range 100 – 350 K. of Arrhenius character with one relaxation process at 150 – 250 K. This process reflects most probably β-relaxation of the side chain groups. Calculated activation energy of this process was 5730 kJ/mole. Four types of polysaccharides were studied at 293 K temperature: hyaluronic acid (HA), chondroitin sulfate (CHS), HEC and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), in the low-frequency range 10−5 - 100 Hz. Measured dielectric spectra were interpreted as sum of one A.C. conductivity process and of up to two relaxation processes. The relaxation processes were described by means of the Havriliak-Negami formula and their parameters were related to the molecular structure of the polymers. The low value of a in CHS is related to its strong coupling due to the presence of two polar groups in its monomeric unit, whereas low values of α × β are interpreted as being due to the strong steric hindrances caused by long pendants present in HEC.

The influence of ZnO nanoparticles on the dielectric properties, dielectric relaxation behavior, and thermal stability of PC host was investigated at different ZnO nanoparticles concentration. The dielectric study was carried out over a frequency range from 500 Hz up to 1 MHz as a function of ZnO concentration. Results obtained from the best fitting of relative permittivity data with Yan and Rhodes model reveal that the dielectric relaxation is not a single relaxation process and there are two values of relaxation time for each nanocomposite at room temperature and domain frequency range. Furthermore, addition of ZnO nanoparticles to PC host changes the dielectric properties of PC, mainly, increases relative permittivity, dielectric loss, and AC conductivity while decreases the impedance values of PC host. Moreover, effect of temperature on AC conductivity of ZnO-PC nanocomposites at 1 kHz was also considered. Besides, dielectric relaxation behavior of PC was investigated at 165°C (above the glass transition temperature of PC) in the domain frequency range. At this elevated temperature (165°C), dielectric loss data shows a single relaxation peak (α-relaxation) in the domain frequency range and was successfully fitted with Debye equation. Also, it was found that as the content of ZnO nanoparticles increases in the PC host the frequency of the peak maximum ( fmax) shifts toward higher frequency value and as a result decreases the value of relaxation time. Additionally, this study shows that the isothermal effect of ZnO nano particles on the α-relaxation of PC host is similar to the effect of temperature. Both of them have a linear dependence with ln( fmax). Furthermore, addition of ZnO nanoparticles to PC host will decrease the thermal stability and glass transition temperature of PC host. Finally, there is a strong evidence from the obtained dielectric and thermal results that addition of ZnO nanoparticles to PC host will highly enhance the chain mobility and also increase the polar character of PC host.

Dielectric Data

The complex permittivity of LiClO4 and NaClO4 solutions in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) has been measured in the frequency range 0.140–123.2 GHz. The data have been analysed according to a model for the reorientation of ion pairs given in a previous paper. The dielectric data are supplemented by conductivity measurements in a broad concentration range (10−4–1 mol/L) which evidence the large extent of salt association. The main result is that the solvation of Li+ and Na+ by DME cannot be described as simply as in the case of other solvents, such as tetrahydrofuran or ethyl acetate, as far as the dielectric properties are concerned: while the assumption of rigidly bound solvating molecules was acceptable for the latter solvents, some freedom in the reorientation of these molecules has to be taken into account for the case of DME. LiClO4 solutions in propylene carbonate (PC) + benzene and PC + DME mixtures have also been studied. The data, for the latter, can be qualitatively interpreted under the assumption that PC molecules take the place of DME molecules in the solvation sheath, even at low PC concentration.

An analysis is made of the low-frequency characteristics of the permittivityε′and of tanδof a thick-film insulator containing rutile grains bonded with an amorphous glass. The appearance of dielectric relaxation associated with a maximum of tanδ, as well as characteristic Debye dispersions of the electric permittivity is observed. The relaxation time does not depend on the rutile concentration in the dielectric. An equivalent circuit describing the behaviour of a capacitor with such an insulator in the low frequency range is suggested. The experimental results are shown to be consistent with an analysis based on the assumption that a titanium ion relaxation process occurs in the rutile grains. In normal ambient conditions the influence of this kind of polarization disappears at frequencies higher than 102Hz;ε′and tanδthen change insignificantly and the value of tanδis conditioned by the hopping mechanism of conductivity in the glass and in rutile.

The dielectric properties of the third (3. OAOB) and fifth (5. OAOB) members of the PAA homologous series have been investigated in the frequency range from 0.1 to 12 MHz. Negative dielectric anisotropies have been obtained in the nematic phase of both substances. For the dielectric relaxation processes observed parallel to the nematic director, the relaxation times and activation energies have been estimated and discussed.

A study of the room-temperature ionic liquid N-methyl-N-ethylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy over the frequency range 0.2 GHz ≤ ν ≤ 89 GHz has revealed that, in addition to the already known lower frequency processes, there is a broad featureless dielectric loss at higher frequencies. The latter is probably due to the translational (oscillatory) motions of the dipolar ions of the IL relative to each other, with additional contributions from their fast rotation.

The dielectric relaxation processes of acetone, cyclohexanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 4-heptanone in dilute nonpolar solvents, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride have been studied in the microwave region over a temperature range 10 to 60 °C. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated states have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by molecular and intramolecular rotation and compared, wherever possible, with other similar studies on aliphatic molecules.

Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy in the frequency range 50 Hz to 1 MHz has been carried out in a room temperature ferroelectric liquid crystal mixture in the SmC*, SmA and N* phases in cells of different thickness. The relaxation frequency fr, distribution parameter α and dielectric strength δ∊ have been evaluated. Goldstone mode, domain mode and soft mode have been observed. It is found that the cell thickness has a significant effect on the dielectric parameters of the ferroelectric liquid crystal material. The results have been discussed.
