A novel 0.88Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.12PbTiO3 crystal/polymer composite with 2-2 connectivity is studied at variable orientations of spontaneous polarisation vector of the crystal component. Orientation and volume-fraction dependences of the hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficients dh*, eh*, and gh* and hydrostatic electromechanical coupling factor kh* are related to the important role of the piezoelectric and elastic anisotropy of single-domain layers of the 2-2 composite. The record value of |eh∗|≈77 C/m2 near the absolute-minimum point and the correlation between the hydrostatic (eh*) and piezoelectric (e3j*) coefficients and between the hydrostatic (gh*) and piezoelectric (g3j*) coefficients are first established. This discovery is of value for hydrostatic and piezotechnical applications. The hydrostatic performance of the composite based on the single-domain 0.88Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.12PbTiO3 crystal is compared to the performance of the 2–2 composites based on either the same polydomain crystal or the related single-domain crystal.

The influence of the aspect ratio and volume fraction of ferroelectric ceramic inclusions in a 0–3 matrix on the hydrostatic parameters of a three-component 1–3-type composite is studied to demonstrate the important role of the elastic properties of the two-component matrix on the composite performance. Differences in the elastic properties of the 0–3 matrix and single-crystal rods lead to a considerable dependence of the hydrostatic response of the composite on the anisotropy of the matrix elastic properties. The performance of a 1–0–3 0.92 Pb ( Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3) O 3–0.08 PbTiO 3 SC/modified PbTiO 3 ceramic/polyurethane composite suggests that this composite system is of interest for hydroacoustic applications due to its high hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficients [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], squared figure of merit [Formula: see text], and electromechanical coupling factor [Formula: see text].

A system of hydrostatic parameters is studied in novel 2–0–2 composites that contain two lead-free piezoelectric single-crystal components. The ferroelectric domain-engineered alkali niobate-tantalate-based single-crystal layer promotes large values of the piezoelectric coefficients [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], hydrostatic squared figure of merit [Formula: see text], and hydrostatic electromechanical coupling factor [Formula: see text] of the composite wherein the 0–3 Li2B4O7 single crystal/polyethylene layers are adjacent to the aforementioned single-crystal layer. Hereby, the role of the elastic anisotropy of the 0–3 layer is emphasized. An orientation effect concerned with rotations of the crystallographic axes of the piezoelectric Li2B4O7 single crystal in the 0–3 layer is first studied. It is shown that the orientation of the crystallographic axis [Formula: see text] of the Li2B4O7 single crystal in the polymer matrix strongly influences the piezoelectric properties and hydrostatic parameters of the composite. Examples of the so-called waterfall-like orientation dependences of the hydrostatic parameters are analyzed. The composite based on the domain-engineered [Lix([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]]([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]O3:Mn single crystal is of interest due to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mV[Formula: see text]m/N, [Formula: see text] Pa[Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]–0.75 in the studied volume-fraction and orientation ranges, and these hydrostatic parameters are to be taken into account in the field of piezotechnical, hydroacoustic, and energy-harvesting applications.

In this paper, the 1-3-2 piezoelectric composites were fabricated by the cut-filling technique using P(MN)ZT piezoelectric ceramic as functional materials and polymer as matrix. The effects of ceramic volume fraction on the electrical properties of the composites were studied. The results indicate that as the ceramic volume fraction increases, the piezoelectric stain factor d33 increases evidently, while the piezoelectric voltage factor g33 decreases. Besides, the planar electromechanical coupling factor Kp and mechanical quality factor Qm of the composite are also less than those of the pure ceramic, while the thickness electromechanical coupling factor Kt is larger than that of the ceramic.

1-3 polymer-based piezoelectric composites were fabricated using epoxy as matrix by the cut-filling method. The influences of shape parameter on properties of the piezoelectric composite, which include the unit cross-sectional area and the aspect ratio w/t were analyzed. The results indicate that with the increasing of the unit cross-sectional area, the quality factor valueQmincreases and the hydrostatic piezoelectric voltageghincreases and then goes down rapidly while the PMN volume fractionφ(PMN) is kept under the 50%. When theφ(PMN) is 60%,ghis decreased. The trend of the hydrostatic figures of meritdh·ghis similar withghas the change of the unit cross-sectional area, but the value is different. In the 60% PMN volume fraction, the optimal value of thedh·ghis chosen. With the increasing of thew/t, the hydrostatic pressure sensitivityMh, thedh·ghvalues and theQmvalues are all decreased rapidly, and the thickness electromechanical coupling factorktis increased. In other words, the test results show that the smaller of unit cross-sectional area and thinner of thickness, the more helpful for frequency bandwidth and sensitivity when it is used in transducer.

Piezoelectric Wafers

A novel piezoceramic stack-based smart aggregate (PiSSA) with piezoceramic wafers in series or parallel connection is developed to increase the efficiency and output performance over the conventional smart aggregate with only one piezoelectric patch. Due to the improvement, PiSSA is suitable for situations where the stress waves easily attenuate. In PiSSA, the piezoelectric wafers are electrically connected in series or parallel, and three types of piezoelectric wafers with different electrode patterns are designed for easy connection. Based on the theory of piezo-elasticity, a simplified one-dimensional model is derived to study the electromechanical, transmitting and sensing performance of PiSSAs with the wafers in series and parallel connection, and the model was verified by experiments. The theoretical results reveal that the first resonance frequency of PiSSAs in series and parallel decreases as the number or thickness of the PZT wafers increases, and the first electromechanical coupling factor increases firstly and then decrease gradually as the number or thickness increases. The results also show that both the first resonance frequency and the first electromechanical coupling factor of PiSSA in series and parallel change no more than 0.87% as the Young’s modulus of the epoxy increases from 0.5 to 1.5 times 3.2 GPa, which is helpful for the fabrication of PiSSAs. In addition, the displacement output of PiSSAs in parallel is about 2.18–22.49 times that in series at 1–50 kHz, while the voltage output of PiSSAs in parallel is much less than that in parallel, which indicates that PiSSA in parallel is much more suitable for working as an actuator to excite stress waves and PiSSA in series is suitable for working as a sensor to detect the waves. All the results demonstrate that the connecting type, number and thickness of the PZT wafers should be carefully selected to increase the efficiency and output of PiSSA actuators and sensors. This study contributes to providing a method to investigate the characteristics and optimize the structural parameters of the proposed PiSSAs.

AbstractWe report on comprehensive characterization of piezoelectric shear mode inkjet actuators micromachined into bulk Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3 (PZT) ceramics. The paper starts with an overview of different inkjet technologies such as continuous jet and drop-on-demand systems, whereat main attention is turned on piezoelectric systems particularly Xaar-type shear mode inkjet color printheads. They are an example of complex microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and comprise a ferroelectric array of 128 active ink channels (75νm wide and 360νm deep). Detailed information about manufacturing and principles of operation are given. Several techniques to control manufacturing processes and to characterize properties of the piezoelectric material are described: dielectric spectroscopy to measure dielectric permittivity ε and loss tanσ; ferroelectric hysteresis P-E loop tracing to get remnant polarization Pr and coercive field Ec, and a novel pulsed technique to quantify functional properties of the PZT actuator such as acoustic resonant frequencies and electromechanical coupling factor. Stroboscope technique has been employed to find correlation between the degradation of ink-jet performance and heat/high voltage treatment resulting in ferroelectric fatigue.
