Piezoelectric fiber composite fabrication
Abstract
This chapter considers the status of piezoelectric fiber composite fabrication. The description is focused on three topics, the preparation of sol-gel derived PZT fiber/polymer composites as the first exciting development phase of piezoelectric fiber composites, the soft-mold method with high achievement potential for preparing designed composites and understanding the structure-property relationships, and finally the preparation of powder suspension-derived PZT fiber/polymer composites as the technologically advanced and commercialized process. The use of piezoceramic fibers allows for the fabrication of high-quality fiber composites, covering performance data that cannot be achieved by the conventional dice and fill technique.
