Dielectric relaxation study of propylene carbonate from susceptibility and conductivity measurement under broadband electric field
Dielectric relaxation of propylene carbonate ( j ) dissolved in p-xylene, cyclohexane and n-heptane ( i ) at different weight fractions ( w j ′ s) of solutes for 28, 33 and 38 °C temperatures is studied under 3.8 GHz (S-Band), 7.2 GHz (C-Band), 10.5 GHz (X-Band) and 17.6 GHz (Ku-Band) electric field...

Sufficient penetration depth indicates development of a new simple and rapid sensor for determination of propylene carbonate concentration. |
