5 Introduction
5.1 SPECTANO 100
SPECTANO 100 , in conjunction with its accessories or as stand-alone unit, is a
test system for dielectric analysis of solid and liquid materials. It combines the
time-domain and frequency-domain analysis within a wide frequency range from
20 μHz up to 5 kHz in one device and provides an output voltage range from
100 mV to 200 V
peak
. The designated use of SPECTANO 100 is the analysis of
dielectric characteristics of liquid and solid materials such as:
• Impedance, capacitance and resistance
• Complex permittivity
ε
• Loss factor tanδ
SPECTANO 100 can be used for a wide range of different applications:
• Dielectric analysis of solid and liquid dielectric materials, for example,
polymers, cellulose-based materials, oil, and other insulation materials
• Monitoring of polymerization and hardening processes
• Analysis of nanocomposites
• Research on dielectrics
• Analysis of ceramics
• Analysis of thin films
5.2 Methods
The following list gives a short overview of methods and test cell types which can
be used together with
SPECTANO 100
to analyze dielectric materials. However,
also measurements of dielectric materials or components without electrode
arrangements are possible like capacitors or coils.
Solid dielectric materials:
• Parallel plate method
– Contacting electrode method used with rigid metal electrodes
– Contacting electrode method used with rigid metal electrodes and coated
solid test material
– Contacting electrode method used with thin film electrodes
– Non-contacting electrode method (gap occupied by air or liquid, on one or
both sides of the solid test material)
• Tube or cylindrical electrode method
Liquid dielectric materials:
• Coaxial probe method
• Parallel plate method
• Tube or cylindrical electrode method
