Our objective is the development of new, knowledge-based materials for applications in energy harvesting and storage, industry, transport, medicine and information, among many other technologies, and, specifically, in transducers, sensors and actuators using poled polycrystalline ferroelectrics, the so called piezoelectric ceramics. Equally important, the research is aimed at the improvement of existing fundamental knowledge on the preparation processes and the structure, properties and mechanisms present in these materials. Given their direct impact on applications, the transfer of this knowledge to industry is contemplated as a general objective. Learn about our activities before March 2016
