Abstract:
Poly(o-toluidine) (PoT) and poly(o-toluidine
co aniline) were prepared by using ammonium persulfate
initiator, in the presence of 1M HCI. It was dried under
different conditions: room temperature drying (48 h), oven
drying (at 50°C for 12 h), or vacuum drying (under vacuum,
at room temperature for 16 h). The dielectric properties, such
as dielectric loss, conductivity, dielectric constant, dielectric
heating coefficient, loss tangent, etc., were studied at microwave frequencies. A cavity perturbation technique was used
for the study. The dielectric properties were found to be
related to the frequency and drying conditions. Also, the
copolymer showed better properties compared to PoT alone.
