2 The Dielectric Properties of Wood V* On the Dielectric Properties of the Chemicl Constituents of Wood nd the Dielectric Anisotropy of Wood Misto NORMOTO** nd Tdshi YAMADA** Abstrct--n this pper, the dielectric properties of the chemicl constituents of wood were mesured over wide temperture nd frequency rnges in order to elucidte the dielectric nisotropy of wood. n the cse of cellulose nd mnnn the only one temperture dispersion ws observed. The dispersion would be due to the rottionl motions of methylol groups in the morphous regions since the dispersion did not OCcur in xyln. On the other hnd, the two dispersions were observed in lignin. The dispersion in high temperture rnge would be due to the motions of crbonyl groups to which wter molecules re ttched by hydrogen bonds, while the one in low temperture rnge would be due to the motions of methylol groups. The tempertures corresponding to the mximum dielectric loss fctor for wood in the longitudinl direction coincided with tht of cellulose nd they were in higher rnge thn those for wood in the trnsverse directions. These fcts, therefore, show tht the dielectric relxtion processes of wood in the longitudinl direction re governed by those of cellulose, while the relytion processes of wood in the trnsverse directions re considerbly influenced by those of lignin.. ntroduction t is well known tht there exist vritions in the mgnitudes of dielectric constnt of wood in the three principl directions, nd tht the mgnitude of dielectric constnt decreses generlly in the order, longitudinl, rdil, nd tngentil directions. Although mny rguments on the dielectric nisotropy of wood hve been presented, there re mny problems remining unsolved. Especilly, the reports which discussed the dielectric nisotropy in connection with the relxtion processes hve pprently not been published. n the previous pper ll, it ws reported tht the dielectric nisotropy of wood in the longitudinl nd trnsverse directions is closely relted to different modes of dipolr motions in both directions since the distribution for relxtion times in the longitudinl direction differs very much from tht in the trnsverse directions. The present pper dels with the effect of grin ngles in the three principl plnes on the dielectric properties of wood nd the dielectric properties of the chemicl constituents of wood in order to elucidte * Previous Pper, Wood Reserch, No. 51, 12 (1971). ** Division of Wood Physics the dielectric nisotropy of wood in

MKHALOV et ) investigted the dielectric relxtions of cellulose nd its derivtives nd suggested tht the dispersion my be due to the movement of methylol groups in the less ordered zones of the polymers.

The high temperture bsorption in lignin would be due to the motions of CO-H 2 0 complexes, since this relxtion process hs sme chrcters s tht of nylon nd polyethylene terephthlte. Hence, it my be concluded tht the high temperture bsorption is ttributed to the motion of CH 2 0H groups. As the bsorption due to CH 2 0H groups of lignin occurs in lower temperture region compred with tht of cellulose nd mnnn, CH 2 0H groups in lignin is more mobile thn tht in cellulose nd mnnn.
