Abstract:Dielectric relaxation behavior was examined for aqueous solutions of dodecyldimethylamineoxide (DDAO)
in the range of concentration (c
D) from 100 to 500 mM varying the average degree of protonation (〈α〉) by
adding HBr. DDAO has an electric dipole moment due to an O←N coordination chemical bond on its
headgroup, and the fraction of O←N is reduced by adding HBr, while that of HO−N+ increases. This
process was detected as a change in dielectric spectra. Dielectric spectra for aqueous DDAO solutions had
four type… Show more
“…Every material has a unique set of electrical characteristics that are dependent on their dielectric properties. Accurate measurement of these properties can provide valuable information about the behavior of molecules possessing electric dipole moments to properly incorporate that material into its intended application with improved performances [8]. PDLC's are composed of two nonmiscible components, liquid crystal droplet and a polymer [9].…”

“…Dielectric relaxation spectroscopy is a very useful technique to investigate the motion of molecules possessing electric dipole moments. Any variation in electric dipole moments is sensitively detected by the dielectric relaxation measurement as a function of the frequency of an applied electric field [11]. Due to conducting impurities and interfacial charge layer effect, dielectric properties of materials are known to respond to the DC conductivity.…”

“…Although there is some literature concerned with the application of DRS to micellar systems, such as Ref. , we are not aware of any attempt to use DRS to study these micellar systems in the presence of an additional electrolyte. However, an additional electrolyte is usually the case for the majority of surfactant solutions.…”
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.
