Microwave Dielectric Study on Water Structure and Physical Properties of Aqueous Systems Using Time Domain Reflectometry with Flat-End Cells
2001
Overview
Microwave dielectric measurements were performed in the frequency range from 1 mHz up to 30 GHz using a time domain reflectometry (TDR) method for emulsions and gels. Flat-end sample cells have been used in the TDR measurement to contact a small spot of the surface of those viscoelastic and solid samples without any destruction. Relaxation processes due to various water structures were observed for these aqueous systems. Relaxation parameters thus obtained offer information about these water structures and amounts. The relaxation strength obtained from the high frequency process due to free water can be an adequate measure of water content in spite of some ambiguities for different water structures in some materials. Comparisons of actual water contents in emulsion with those estimated from the relaxation strength indicate that water structure is affected by the interaction between water and micelle. Unfreezable water observed in DNA gel under the freezing point consists of bound water and a fraction of free water. Bound water molecules are still unfreezable to keep the double helical structure of DNA, when the fraction of free water is frozen at lower temperatures. These water structures determine physical properties of moist materials. TDR measuring technique with the flat-end cell is effective to investigate water structures in viscoelastic moist materials and to evaluate physical properties and structures of complex molecular systems.
