Abstract—The dielectric permittivity of amide - 1, 4-dioxane (DX) for various concentrations has been studied in the frequency range from 10 MHz to 30 GHz using the time domain reflectometry (TDR) method. A hydrogen bonded theory suggested by Luzar is applied to compute correlation terms for the mixtures. Static permittivity for the mixtures can be explained using the Luzar model by assuming the formation of two types of hydrogen bonded dimmers, one between amide-amide (pair 1) and other between amide-1, 4-dioxane (pair 2). The numbers of these pairs are also estimated as a function of concentration.

Index Terms—Dielectric permittivity, relaxation time, time domain reflectometry (TDR), bruggeman factor
