DIELECTRIC RELAXATION STUDY OF AQUEOUS CELLULOSE USING DIELECTRIC SPECTROSCOPY
Shankar H. Saknure*, Ashok C. Kumbharkhane
Abstract
The complex permittivity spectra of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose
15 Cps with water were studied by usingthe time domain reflectometry
(TDR) and frequency domain technique (LCR) in thefrequency range
20 Hz to 2 MHz and 10 MHz to 30 GHz at 250C. Now a days dielectric
spectroscopy technique is reliable and widely used for the
measurement of complex permittivity. The complex dielectric
permittivity *(), static dielectric constant (ε0) and relaxation time (τ)
have been determined. The complex permittivity spectra for HPMC 15
Cps- water were fitted in the Debye-type model.
Keywords: Complex permittivity spectra, relaxation time, Electrode polarization, TDR.
