Abstract
The influence of the headgroup on the dynamics of three different alkylammonium cations confined in graphite oxide (GO) was studied by temperature-dependent impedance spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and elemental analysis served to characterize the composites. The alkylammonium cations were connected to the C–O− group of GO via ionic interactions, and the backbone of the confined molecule was distributed as a flat monolayer with the long axis parallel to the GO layer. Ngai's correlated-state model was used, with asymmetry at low temperature in the loss peaks. The calculated true activation energy of 114 meV ± 6% meV is almost the same as the internal rotation barrier of the alkyl macromolecule. We conclude that the relaxation process is definitely attributed to the wobbling around the long molecular axes of the confined ions, an intrinsic motion, not the reorientation of C–H at the headgroup, and it is also due to geometric structural symmetry at the headgroup of the alkylammonium molecules with the interaction of their backbones and the skeletons of GO resulting in the difference in the apparent activation energy. The influence of the headgroup on the dynamics of three different alkylammonium cations confined in graphite oxide (GO) was studied by temperature-dependent impedance spectroscopy.![]()

Abstract
The aggregation behaviors of the bio-friendly nonionic phytosterol ethoxylated (BPS-n) surfactants, in water were investigated by dielectric spectroscopy over a frequency range from 40 Hz to 110 MHz. Only the BPS-5 solution system observes dielectric relaxation and we judge this is because due to the difference in the chain length of BPS-n surfactants. Then we further analyze the BPS-5 solution system. Interestingly, we found that BPS-5 lamellar aggregations exist two phases before and after 6%-8% BPS-5 concentration by using the dielectric parameters and the phase parameters obtained by fitting dielectric spectrum and the theoretical model respectively. In addition, we concluded that the change of the electrical parameters such as surface conductivity and zeta potential are related to the lamellar phase structure. Besides, lamellar phases formed at a lower concentration are more stable than those at higher concentration by the thermodynamic analysis.

Abstract
Dielectric spectroscopy can be applied to study the structure and dynamics of block polymer. In this work, dielectric measurements of block copolymer Pluronic L64 solution are carried out in the frequency range between 40 Hz and 110 MHz with variable temperatures and concentrations. We analyze the phase behavior of the PEO13-PPO30-PEO13 (Pluronic L64) aqueous system according to the concentration/temperature-dependence of direct current conductivity. The result indicates the sensitivity of the phase behavior and conductivity of the Pluronic L64 solution to temperature. Besides, two relaxations were observed: relaxation 1 (0.5 MHz) is related to the gelation process, while relaxation 2 (5 MHz) is caused by the interface polarization. On the basis of relaxation 2, the volume fraction and permittivity of the particle were calculated. The formations of the block copolymer micelle and gel are monitored successfully by the temperature/concentration-dependence of the dielectric parameters and the volume fraction.

Abstract
The dielectric behavior of a thermo-sensitive poly-(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel suspension with a dense concentration was investigated over the frequency range of 40 Hz to 110 MHz in a wide temperature window of 10-60 °C. By successfully removing the electrode polarization effect from the original data, two remarkable and temperature-dependent relaxation processes were observed. Both of the two-phase transition processes, i.e., the colloidal crystal-to-liquid transition, which has not yet been detected by dielectric spectroscopy before, as well as the volume phase transition, were detected by the relaxation parameters. Based on the three physical states of the microgel suspension, the relaxation mechanisms are discussed in detail. The slow relaxation originates from the segmental motion and the counterion motion along the polymer chain over the whole temperature range. It was found that when the system is in the colloidal crystal and liquid state, the segmental motion is cooperative with side chain and hydrogen bonding networks, while in the phase separation state (at temperatures above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST)), the cooperative interaction disappears. The fast relaxation is due to the fluctuation of counterions below the LCST and the interfacial polarization above the LCST. Based on interfacial polarization theory, which describes the dielectric model of a conventional particle dispersion, the temperature dependence of the electrical properties for the constituent phases (the permittivity, conductivity and volume fraction of the microgel (εp, κp, ϕ); the conductivity of the medium water (κa); the water content in the PNIPAM microgel (fw)) were calculated using the Hanai equation. The water content is close to the result obtained using light scattering, indicating that the dielectric model for a conventional particle dispersion is also applicable to a soft atypical colloidal dispersion.

Abstract
A copolymer consisting of acrylamide (AAm) and acrylonitrile (AN) in aqueous solution was investigated using broadband dielectric spectroscopy at frequencies between 10-1 Hz and 106 Hz in the temperature range from 2 °C to 60 °C. This system shows an UCST phase behavior. The phase transition and aggregation behavior is monitored by both the temperature and frequency dependence of the complex conductivity σ*(f, T), where the AN fraction and the concentration of the solution were varied. Additionally, the dielectric data are compared with the results obtained from dynamic light scattering measurements. The temperature dependence of the DC conductivity (σDC) of the copolymer solution is monitored and the phase transition temperature (PTT) of the poly(AAm-co-AN) copolymer is deduced from a change in the T-dependence of the DC conductivity. The change in σDC can be explained by decreased effective charge carrier mobility and a reduction of the effective charge number density at temperatures below the phase transition temperature of the poly(AAm-co-AN) solution. A pronounced interfacial polarization effect on the frequency dependence of the real part of the conductivity (σ') is observed at temperatures below the phase transition temperature. The charge carriers are blocked at the formed aggregates giving rise to this interfacial polarization. The dependence of the interfacial polarization on the acrylonitrile fraction in the copolymer and the concentration of the solution is studied in detail and conclusions concerning the internal structures of the copolymer aggregates are drawn.

Abstract
The self-aggregation behavior of Gemini surfactant 12-2-12 (ethanediyl-1,2-bis(dimethyldodecylammonium bromide)) in water was investigated by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) over a frequency range from 40 Hz to 110 MHz. Dielectric determination shows that well-defined spherical micelles formed when the concentration of the surfactant was above a critical micelle concentration CMC1 of 3 mM and rodlike micelles formed above CMC2, 16 mM. The formation mechanism of the spherical micelles and their transition mechanism to clubbed micelles were proposed by calculating the degree of counterion binding of the micelles. The interactions between the head groups and the hydrophobic chains of the surfactant led to the formation of the micelles, whereas the transition is mainly attributed to the interaction among the hydrophobic chains. By analyzing the dielectric relaxation observed at about 10(7) Hz based on the interface polarization theory, the permittivity and conductivity of micelle aggregates (spherical and clubbed) and volume fraction of micelles were calculated theoretically as well as the electrical properties of the solution medium. Furthermore, we also calculated the electrokinetic parameters of the micelle particle surface, surface conductivity, surface charge density, and zeta potential, using the relaxation parameters and phase parameters. On the basis of these results, the balance of forces controlling morphological transitions, interfacial electrokinetic properties, and the stability of the micelle aggregates was discussed.

Abstract
The collapse of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/poly(acrylic acid) semi-interpenetrating polymer network (PNIPAM/PAA SIPN) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (P(NIPAM-co-AA)) microgel suspensions is studied by dielectric spectroscopy in a frequency range from 40 Hz to 110 MHz as a function of temperature. Dielectric measurements show that the structure affects the relaxation behavior of microgels: two relaxations (micro-Brownian motion and interfacial polarization at low frequency and counterion polarization at high frequency) are observed in the SIPN microgel whose charges mainly exist in domains and one relaxation (interfacial polarization) is observed in the copolymer microgel whose charges distribute in the whole network. A dielectric model is proposed to describe the collapsed microgel suspensions, from which some parameters, such as the volume fraction and the permittivity of microgels, were calculated using Hanai's equation. The temperature dependencies of these parameters show that the SIPN microgel has better low-temperature swelling properties and thermal responsiveness. This is caused by different polymer-solvent and electrostatic repulsion interactions in different microgels. Compared with pure PNIPAM, the relationship of volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) is VPTTP(NIPAM-co-AA) > VPTTPNIPAM/PAA SIPN > VPTTPNIPAM, and it is explained from the viewpoint of interaction. Besides, the activation energy data prove that the structure influences the electrical properties of microgels, which is consistent with the results obtained from quantitative dielectric analysis.
