The dielectric relaxation processes of acetone, cyclohexanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 4-heptanone in dilute nonpolar solvents, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride have been studied in the microwave region over a temperature range 10 to 60 °C. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated states have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by molecular and intramolecular rotation and compared, wherever possible, with other similar studies on aliphatic molecules.

Abstract By the use of reduced variables, the temperature dependence and frequency dependence of dynamic mechanical properties of rubberlike materials can be interrelated without any arbitrary assumptions about the functional form of either The definitions of the reduced variables are based on some simple assumptions regarding the nature of relaxation processes. The real part of the reduced dynamic rigidity, plotted against the reduced frequency, gives a single composite curve for data over wide ranges of frequency and temperature; this is true also for the imaginary part of the rigidity or the dynamic viscosity. The real and imaginary parts of the rigidity, although independent measurements, are interrelated through the distribution function of relaxation times, and this relation provides a check on experimental results. First and second approximation methods of calculating the distribution function from dynamic data are given. The use of the distribution function to predict various types of time-dependent mechanical behavior is illustrated.

Cell Thickness

Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy in the frequency range 50 Hz to 1 MHz has been carried out in a room temperature ferroelectric liquid crystal mixture in the SmC*, SmA and N* phases in cells of different thickness. The relaxation frequency fr, distribution parameter α and dielectric strength δ∊ have been evaluated. Goldstone mode, domain mode and soft mode have been observed. It is found that the cell thickness has a significant effect on the dielectric parameters of the ferroelectric liquid crystal material. The results have been discussed.
