Introduction: Dielectric Calorimetry and Fröhlich Entropy Estimation

The basic concepts on which this book is based are provided. After some general notes on the theory of thermodynamic for dielectric materials, a brief landscape about thermal analysis and calorimetric techniques is provided. Hence, the fundamental elements of the Fröhlich’s thermodynamics theory for dielectrics are outlined in broad terms, arriving to the Fröhlich’s thermodynamic equations for dielectric materials. Finally, the basic elements of Fröhlich entropy estimation techniques are described.
