Direction of the Dipole-Moment in the Ester Group of Poly(Epsilon-Caprolactone)
The low-frequency dielectric permittivity of a dioxane solution of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) was reinvestigated at a lower concentration than in earlier work. The recalculated magnitude of the dipole-moment component parallel to the virtual bond in an ester group is 0.64 D.
