The dielectric ralaxation in aqueous acetamide solutions

Abstract

Based on the studies of SHF dielectric properties of aqueous solutions of acetamide in the temperature range 283-318 K and frequency range 3-26 GHz the dielectric relaxation parameters of the solutions were determined, and it was shown that the relaxation process is associated with the collective structural changes in water-nonelectrolyte network of bonds, during which the influence of hydrophilic interactions of polar groups and the effects of hydrophobic hydration almost completely counterbalance each other.
