Abstract :
The study of the binding state of water in organic or mineral compounds is important to understand the dehydration mechanisms in macromolecular films or the setting and hardening of cement pastes. A sensitive method for measuring microwave dielectric absorption of samples was used in order to determine the free water content or the binding forces of water molecules when the water content is constant.
