Abstract
Material characterization is important to ensure the quality of composites. Traditional methods for assessing alcohol content involve intricate chemical processes. Complex permittivity measurement is a good method to characterize the composites. This paper focuses on binary polar liquid mixtures, particularly alcohol-water mixtures, essential in many industries. Characterizing dielectrics, such as polar liquids, is challenging due to their frequency dispersion. To address this challenge, the paper proposes an ensemble machine learning-based classification model that uses complex permittivity measurements and frequency to accurately identify the type and volume fraction of alcohol in aqueous solutions. This model offers an accuracy rate of 98.4% and can accommodate a measurement error of ±5.5%. This approach simplifies assessing aqueous alcohol solutions and can serve as a supporting tool for various measurement systems.
