Abstract

In this work, single PbZrTiO₃ fibers were produced by a thermoplastic extrusion process. Afterwards, green fibers were sintered under PbO and PbZrO₃+ZrO₂ atmosphere and revealed single fibers and their 1-3 composites were analyzed and compared regarding electromechanical properties. The 1-3 composites show a higher coercive field. Microstructure of the sintered fibers and phase compositions across their diameter were investigated as well.
