Solutions of many substances of high molecular weight, such as gelatin, casein, starch, gum arabic, and Congo red, show a rapid increase in electric conductance with increasing frequency (24,25,53,54). Largely independent investigations show that the dielectric constants of some of these and other similar systems increase with decreasing frequency and that values for the dielectric constant many times higher than that of the solvent may be obtained at low frequencies (7
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
