Abstract

Dielectric properties of material mixtures are of importance in diagnostics, characterization and design of systems in various engineering fields. In this Letter, we propose a peculiar dielectric mixture expression, which is based on the dielectric relaxation phenomena and the spectral density representation [E. Tuncer J. Phys. Condens. Matter 17(12) L125 (2005)]. The expression is tested on several composite systems. Results illustrate that the proposed expression can be used to obtain valuable structural informations in composites, even for highly filled, bi-percolating, systems. Lastly, the proposed expression is an alternative to other existing homogenization formulas in the literature.
