Abstract
Considering the electric double layers between oil and water, a new
"complex model" of dielectric constant of oil/water composites was
built up. Starting from the Maxwell-Garnett theory and Bruggeman
theory, the effective dielectric constant of oil/water random composites
is presented. The nonlinearity of the theory is obvious. The model
is especially suited to study the dielectric properties of oil/water
composites of different nature. The model is also suited to study
the dielectric properties of two-phase random composites with an
interfacial shell. The theoretical results on dielectric properties
of different kinds of oil/water composites are in good agreement
with experimental data.
