Dielectric absorption in mixtures of anisole with some primary alcohols at microwave frequency

Abstract

Dielectric properties of binary mixtures of anisole with methanol (MeOH), 1-propanol (1-PrOH), 1-butanol (1-BuOH) and 1-heptanol (1-HeOH) over an entire concentration range have been studied at a fixed temperature 40°C. The dielectric constant (ε′) and dielectric loss (ε″) of the binary mixtures of polar liquids have been determined at a microwave frequency of 9.1 GHz. The static dielectric permittivity (ε 0) of the liquid samples was also determined using a precision LCR meter. Determined values of static dielectric permittivity (ε 0) and dielectric permittivity (ε*) at 9.1 GHz frequency were used to evaluate relaxation time (τ) and high frequency limit dielectric permittivity (ε ∞). Dielectric parameters were interpreted in terms of molecular interaction between the anisole and alcohol molecules.
