DIELECTRIC BEHAVIOR OF KETONE-AMINE BINARY-MIXTURES AT MICROWAVE-FREQUENCIES

Values of dielectric constant (epsilon') and loss factor (epsilon'') h ave been experimentally determined for binary liquid mixtures of ethyl methyl ketone + ethylenediamine and methyl isobutyl ketone + ethylene diamine at 9.44 GHz microwave frequencies at 30 degrees C. The values of epsilon' and epsilon'' have been used to evaluate the molar polariz ation, apparent polarization and the excess permittivities. Excess ref ractive index, viscosity and activation energy of viscous flow have al so been estimated. These parameters have been used to explain the form ation of 1:1 complexes for both the systems.
