Fabrication and Performances of 1-3-2 Piezoelectric Ceramic/Polymer Composite

A novel 1-3-2 piezoelectric composite has been developed,which consists of piezoelectric ceramic plate and 1-3 piezoelectric composite.The composite was fabricated by dicing PZT ceramic along mutual perpendicular two directions and then filling epoxy into grooves.The piezoelectric and electromechanical properties of the novel composite were determined. The results show a coefficient d_ (33) of 405pC/N,a vibration displacement of 113.5pm,an acoustic impendence of 13.3 Mraly, a bandwidth of 12kHz and a thickness electromechanical coupling coefficient of 0.56.
