Abstract: | The 1-3 type lead-free piezofiber/epoxy composites were prepared using Li, Ta and Sb modified (Na, K)NbO3 compositions as the ceramic phase by means of fiber arrangement and epoxy cast. The dense and smooth piezoelectric ceramic
fibers with a diameter of 250 μm or less were fabricated by extruding plastic mud pie through micro-holes drilled in a hard
mould by means of a laser-cutter. The dielectric, piezoelectric, electromechanical coupling properties and acoustic impedance
characteristic of the as-prepared 1-3 composites with different ceramic volume fractions were characterized and compared with
the theoretical values as well as those of monolithic ceramics. A nearly pure thickness vibration mode with a resonance frequency
over 2 MHz (sample thickness ~1 mm) was formed, together with a high electromechanical coupling coefficient (k
t
~ 0.55–0.6), low acoustic impedances (Z ~ 9–14 MRayl) and relatively high piezoelectric voltage coefficient (g
33 ~ 30 × 10−3 m2/C). The results indicate that those composites have potential to be transducer elements in various applications. |
