Propriedades dielétricas e térmicas das blendas de poliestireno com ácido oléico e poliestireno com betacaroteno

Abstract

The thermal, dielectrics and optics properties of vegetable oils have been studied by Amazonian Materials Physic Group since 1996 in the Department of Physic of UFPA. Recently collaboration with Physical-chemistry of polymer Laboratory in the Chemistry Institute of UnB allowed studying these oils and its components as polymeric blends. In this work, we search to contribute for this study and we explore thermal and dielectric properties as temperature dependence of blends: Polystyrene (PS) modified with Oleic Acid (OA) and polystyrene modified with Beta-Carotene (BC). We performed dielectric constant and thermal diffusivity measurements resorting Capacitance Bridge and photopyroelectric technical, respectively. We estimate moment of dipole for PS/OA blend in the Debye, Onsager and Kirkwood theoretical models and fitting linear regression of experimental data. The results show the phase transition of OA persists in the blend and it is displacement for high temperature.
