Mustard oil is the most commonly adulterated edible oil, invariably with argemone oil. This study was aimed to develop a parallel plate capacitive sensor for measurement of dielectric properties of pure mustard oil, pure argemone oil and their blends (25, 50 and 75%) at five levels of varying temperature (10 to 50 °C). The effect of blend ratio and temperature on the selected dielectric properties of oil-capacitance (), dielectric loss tangent (), dielectric constant ( ), dielectric loss factor ( ) and electrical conductivity () were investigated. It was observed that composition of the individual oils in terms of moisture and fatty acids influenced the physical and dielectric properties. The sensor was used to relate the dielectric properties of oil samples with blend ratio and temperature by means of statistically significant ( < 0.05) and robust ( > 0.8) multiple linear regression model. The effect of temperature on and was negative, while it was otherwise for , and . Increase in argemone oil content in the blends, increased the dielectric measures due to the associated changes in the physical and chemical properties. The capacitive sensor could distinctly identify mustard oil, argemone oil and its blends on the basis of dielectric properties.

In the present work, DFT investigations were carried out to study the effect of doping on the structural, mechanical, and optical properties of a quaternary High Entropy Alloy (HEA), FeCoVNi, with substitution doping of Co and Ni elements by Se. The cubic phase of FeCoVNi transforms into an orthorhombic phase when Co and Ni sites are replaced with Se. The mechanical stability is retained for substitution of Co up to 37.

Polyimide (PI) faces significant challenges in highly integrated and high-frequency electronic devices due to its inherently low thermal conductivity and relatively high dielectric constant (D). In this study, topologically micro-crosslinked PI films were synthesized by incorporating highly conjugated multi-amino polydiacetylene (MAPDA) into a fluorinated PI matrix. The unique alkene-alkyne alternating conjugated structure of MAPDA, combined with the strong electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl groups in the matrix, promotes charge redistribution and reduces the dipole moment and polarizability.

Lead-free electroceramics have attracted significant research interest as alternatives to lead-containing systems due to concerns related to lead's toxicity to human health and the environment. Solid solutions based on bismuth sodium titanate (BNT) and barium titanate (BT), particularly those with compositions near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB), such as 0.94 BiNaTiO-0.

Lithium metavanadate (LiVO) is a material of growing interest due to its monoclinic 2/ structure, which supports efficient lithium-ion diffusion through one-dimensional channels. This study presents a detailed structural, electrical, and dielectric characterization of LiVO synthesized a solid-state reaction, employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and impedance/dielectric spectroscopy across a temperature range of 473-673 K and frequency range of 10 Hz to 1 MHz. XRD and Rietveld refinement confirmed high crystallinity and single-phase purity with lattice parameters = 10.
