Dielectric study of a binary mixture of acrylonitrile with 1,4-dioxane using a TDR

Abstract

The frequency-dependent complex permittivity spectra (CPS) of acrylonitrile (ACRN) and 1,4-dioxane (DX) binary mixture in the range from 10 MHz to 30 GHz were measured using the time domain reflectometry (TDR) technique. Experimentally obtained CPS was fitted into the Debye equation. Dielectric relaxation behaviors that depend on temperature and concentration were discussed. The obtained dielectric parameters are reported. The Kirkwood correlation and Bruggeman factor have been used to analyze the molecular association and hydrogen bonding interactions in the mixture.
