Dielectric Saturation in Aliphatic Alcohols

Abstract

The dielectric saturation in solutions of butanol-1, pentanol-1, and hexanol-1 in benzene and hexane was measured. The values of the permittivity variations as measured in solutions of alcohols point to the presence of a new type of dielectric saturation effect, which is shared in common by all the systems investigated. Because of the considerable electric conductivity of the liquids investigated, the pulse method was applied.
