Functionally graded piezoelectric ceramics (FGM) plates are attractive due to their ability to broaden the frequency bandwidth of the ultrasonic transducers. A resistivity gradient La-doped Lead Zirconate Titanate/Al-doped Zinc Oxide (La-PZT/Al-ZnO) piezoelectric ceramics plate was developed using a powder metallurgical process. Grading of the piezoelectric modulus across the plate was experimentally confirmed by the electrical impedance analysis and its gradient distribution was characterized using the profile-technique. The distribution of Zn2+ ions in the PZT region was examined using EPMA, XRD and SEM/EDX, respectively. Analysis results show that the gradient distributions of structural and electrical properties inside the FGM plate are mainly caused by the diffusion and aggregation of Zn2+ ions in the PZT layer. The functionally graded piezoelectric ceramics plate presented here will be useful for broadening the frequency bandwidth of piezoelectric transducers.

C-and BN-interphases on SiC fibers for unidirectional SiCf/SiC composites were formed by EPD process, and their microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. Whereas the C-SiCf/SiC composites showed a pseudo-ductile fracture behavior with large amount of fiber pullout, the BN-SiCf/SiC composites fractured in a brittle manner without fiber pullout in spite of sufficient thickness of BN interphase. It is inferred from the results of EDS that sintering additives would react with h-BN-interphase, and the interphase did not act effectively for toughening the SiCf/SiC composites.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were deposited by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) onBombyx mori(silk) andCannabis sativa L. var.sativa (hemp) fibers to improve their mechanical properties. The CNTs were functionalized in mixed acids in order to introduce carboxylic acid groups on their surfaces. The tensile strength and strain at break point of both the modified fibers were approximately two times higher than those of the virgin natural fibers. The addition of small amounts of Mg(NO3)2.6H2O, (CH3COO)2Ni.4H2O significantly improved the deposition of the functionalized CNTs on the hemp fibers.

The mechanical properties of a quasi-symmetrical planar functionally graded material (FGM) of Al2O3 / Al2O3+20%ZrO2 / Al2O3+5%ZrO2 prepared by electrophoretic deposition and pressureless sintering has been studied. Hardness and fracture toughness were measured using indentation methods on cross sections of samples. From the difference between lengths of cracks parallel and perpendicular to layers the residual stresses (arisen due to the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch) were calculated, their profile along the cross section has been estimated and compared with values obtained using a finite element model.
