Temperature-dependent dielectric characterisation and molecular interaction behaviour in binary mixtures of dimethylacetamide with ethylene glycol and dimethylsulphoxide

摘要

Dielectric relaxation measurements on binary mixtures of dimethylacetamide with ethylene glycol and dimethylsulphoxide have been carried out at 11 concentrations using time domain reflectometry technique at 10°C, 20°C, 30°C and 40°C over the frequency range from 10 MHz to 10 GHz. For all the mixtures, only one dielectric loss peak is observed in this frequency range. The relaxation in these mixtures can be described by a single relaxation time using the Debye model. A systematic variation is observed in dielectric constant and relaxation time. Excess permittivity, excess inverse relaxation time, Kirkwood correlation factor and thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy of activation and Gibbs free energy of activation have been determined, to confirm the formation of hydrogen-bonded homogeneous and heterogeneous cooperative domains, the dynamics of solute-solvent interaction and the hindrance to molecular rotation in the hydrogen-bonded glass forming ethylene glycol-dimethylacetamide and dimethylsulphoxide-dimethylacetamide system.View full textDownload full textKeywordsdielectric relaxation, excess parameters, Kirkwood correlation factor, time domain reflectometry, thermodynamic parametersRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00319104.2011.646443
