Abstract: For bentonite clays and kaolin, the studies were carried out to establish a correlation between the moisture at the plastic limit determined by traditional laboratory methods and the complex permittivity determined by the method of resonance measurements in the microwave range of electromagnetic waves at frequencies of 1.4-1.7 GHz. The effect of crystallization of water located between clay particles on the clays electrophysical properties is studied.
