Dielectric properties of polyfunctional alcohols: 2,3-butanediol

详细

Using a variety theoretical approaches within the Debye, Davidson–Cole, and Forsman models, and an approach based on the Dissado–Hill theory, dielectric spectra of 2,3-butanediol in the temperature range of 298 to 423 K are analyzed. It is shown that the dielectric spectra of 2,3-butanediole are described by the Davidson–Cole equation, and the β_DC parameter depends strongly on temperature. The spectrum of dielectric relaxation of 2,3-butanediol within the Debye theory is presented as the sum of two areas of dispersion, and conclusions are drawn regarding possible mechanisms of dispersion responsible for the obtained fields. The relaxation times of 2,3-butanediol, calculated using different equations describing the nonlinear behavior of relaxation times, are compared. The dipole moments of clusters are obtained for the first time using the Dissado–Hill cluster model, and a preliminary analysis of them is performed.
