Recent progress in the studies of dispersion phenomena

A knowledge of molecular structure and the related physical and chemical properties is of fundamental importance to the solution of many theoretical and practical problems in both academic and industrial realms. It is obvious that the relative progress in the field of electrical insulation is in part determined by the extent of such information made available. Among the several methods which the physicists and chemists have been employing in their search for added structural information the dielectric and conductance dispersion studies have brought distinct contributions to our knowledge of structure and behavior of molecules, especially in view of the increasing volume and variety of researches reported in literature during the past year.
