PROJECT_ABSTRACT
|
The market for piezoceramic
components is dominated by lead-based PZT materials containing more
than 60 wt% lead. Since lead is highly toxic, it has become a great
concern how to eliminate the use of PZT by replacing it by
non-harmful materials while maintaining comparable piezoelectric
properties. This is the objective of the present proposal. Alkaline
niobates are proposed as alternative piezoceramic materials. Niobate
ceramics are known to be very difficult to densify fully. A
combination of optimised compositions, innovative powder synthesis,
as mechanochemical activation, and processing methods is proposed
for obtaining lead-free materials suitable for industrial
applications. 3 end-users in the project will test the new materials
in industrial devices.

PROJECT_ABSTRACT
|
For the next generation
devices(micromotors, actuators, sensors), classical PZT materials
cannot satisfy the demands for a wide variety of applications
exceptionally high piezoelectric coefficients, high
electromechanical coupling coefficients and high dielectric
permittivity. Relaxor-ferroelectric solid solutions are now
considered as the best candidates for these applications. Improved
properties of relaxor ceramics will be investigated through
exploration of diagrammes between relaxor materials, new powder
processing such as controlled dispersion, sol-gel synthesis, control
of ceramic microstructure using new methods to prepare textured
ceramics by hot forging, casting. Advanced materials will be
up-scaled and promoted in the European market through an end-users
group and different test vehicles such as Sonar and medical
transducers, inkjet printer heads, micromotors, accelerometers.
