Abstract: | The dielectric properties of concentrated w/o-emulsions have been investigated, both at rest and during shear. The volume fraction water ranged from 0.50 to 0.95. The time domain dielectric spectroscopy techniques (TDS) was used to record the dielectric spectra, which covered the frequency region from 25 MHz to 2 GHz. In order to simultaneously record rheological and dielectric data a modified viscometer of the coaxial cylinder type was applied.A close connection between the viscosity and the dielectric properties of w/o emulsions is demonstrated. The very large effects of shear both on the static permittivity and the dielectric relaxation time for the emulsion can partially be ascribed to the degree of flocculation in the system. At high shear rates, at which the emulsions are expected to have a low degree of flocculation, the observed dielectric properties differ from those expected from a theoretical model for spherical emulsion droplets. |
