The parallel resistance method is used for capacitance measurements is a nickel cell. Comparison of the distribution curve and the dispersion curve above a distinct similarity between the two curves. A relationship of the log frequency to intrinsic viscosity has been derived and appears to be acceptable with ±10% of the values obtained from fractional precipitation. Thus the distribution curve of cellulose nitrate may be determined from the dielectric dispersion curve.47 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1960.W562DispersionNitrocelluloseThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-06102012-040045/
