Notes:
The dielectric behaviour of hydroxypropyl cellulose in dioxan has been studied at 10-50°C over a range of concentration of 10-55 wt% to include the isotropic and anisotropic phases. The study showed that the loss maximum ε″max magnitude of polarization ε0 - ε∞ relaxation time 1/2πfm degree of broadening of the absorption curves 1-h or α, and the mean-square dipole moment 〈gμ2〉, steadily increase with concentration up to 42 wt%, above which a rapid decrease takes place. This indicates that the isotropic solution transforms to an anisotropic solution with a smaller mean dipole moment. The critical concentration is realized to be temperature invariant. This was evidenced by measuring the refractive index of solutions covering the same concentration and temperature ranges.
