Improved Mechanical Amplification of Monolithic PZT and PZT Composite via Optimized Honeycomb Macrostructures.

Honeycomb-based, modular composites with a relative density of 0.3948 and a slenderness ratio of 6.48 were fabricated on PZT building blocks connected with a PZT-filled phenyl silicone resin.

Phase Evolution, Filler-Matrix Interactions, and Piezoelectric Properties in Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT)-Filled Polymer-Derived Ceramics (PDCs).

PZT-silsesquioxane-based 0-3 hybrid materials are prepared by mixing lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Zr,Ti)O; PZT) powder with a [R-SiO] (R = H, CH, CH=CH, CH) silsequioxane preceramic polymer. A PZT load up to 55 vol.% can be reached in the final composite.
