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
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
•

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
o
Contacting electrode method used with rigid metal electrodes
Contacting electrode method used with rigid metal electrodes and coated solid test
o
material
o
Contacting electrode method used with thin film electrodes
Non-contacting electrode method (gap occupied by air or liquid, on one or both sides of
o
the solid test material)
o
Tube or cylindrical electrode method
Liquid dielectric materials:
•
Coaxial probe method
Parallel plate method
•
Tube or cylindrical electrode method
•
