Study of Dielectric Relaxation and Hydrogen Bonding Interaction of 1, 4-Butanediol-1, 4-Dioxane Mixture using TDR Technique

Abstract

The complex permittivity spectra of 1, 4-butanediol -1, 4-dioxane binary mixtures have been measured in the frequency range from 10MHz to 30GHz using the time domain reflectometry (TDR) technique. The complex permittivity spectra show the Cole-Davidson type relaxation. The static dielectric constant and relaxation time at various temperatures have been obtained from complex permittivity spectra by using the nonlinear least squares fit method. The orientation of electric dipoles and solute-solvent interaction in the liquid mixture was confirmed from the excess, Bruggeman, Kirkwood correlation factor and thermodynamic parameters.
