VARIATION OF THE MICROWAVE DIELECTRIC PERMEABILITY OF THE ACRYLAMIDE-CALCIUM NITRATE SYSTEM DURING ITS SPONTANEOUS POLYMERIZATION

The kinetics of the variation of the complex dielectric permeability a t microwave frequencies of 1.1, 1.7, 2.7, and 10 GHz during spontaneou s polymerization of acrylamide in the presence of the hydrate of calci um nitrate was studied. The microwave conduction of this system has an ionic nature. It was assumed that some of the water liberated during the polymerization is both transformed into a bound state and forms mi croinclusions of an electrolyte solution in the bulk of the polymer.
