Abstract: | Flexible piezo- and pyroelectric composite was made in the thin film form by spin coating. Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) ceramic powder was dispersed in a castor oil-based polyurethane (PU) matrix, providing a composite with 0–3 connectivity. The dielectric data, measured over a wide range of frequency (10–5 Hz to 105 Hz), shows a loss peak around 100 Hz related with impurities in the polymer matrix. There is also an evidence of a peak in the range 10–4 Hz, possibly originating from the glass transition temperature Tg of the polymer. The pyroelectric coefficient at 343 K is 7.0×10–5 C·m–2·K–1 which is higher than that of β-PVDF (1×10–5 C·m–2·K–1). Electronic Publication |
