PZT-type materials with improved radial piezoelectric properties

The goal of this work is to prepare doped PZT-type materials with improved radial piezoelectric properties. Ceramic materials were obtained by solid-state reaction at different sintering temperatures. SAED, bright field TEM and HRTEM methods were used for the microstructure studies. The influence of the composition and nanostructure on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the materials is discussed. One of the materials with high coupling constant was used in the construction of a miniature flexural ventilator. Designated to function at an emf of 220 V/50 Hz, this device is characterized by high efficiency, reliability and low energy consumption.
