Dielectric behavior of aqueous solutions of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose

Measurements are reported for the dielectric loss factor of the SCMC solutions over the frequency range 2 MHz to 50 MHz as a function of concentration of SCMC, concentration of added sodium chloride, molecular weight, and temperature. The results are in general agreement with those of other workers and are interpreted in terms of ionic theories in which motion of the diffuse counterions is the dominant feature.
