Piezoelectric ceramics by powder injection molding

Abstract

Lead zirconate titanate (PbZrTiO3) and barium titanate (BaTiO3) samples were fabricated using ceramic powder injection molding method (CIM). Piezoelectric CIM samples were characterized and it is shown that obtained properties are satisfactory and comparable to those found in literature. This shows that it is feasibile to synthesise piezoelectric ceramics with good dielectric and piezoelectric properties using CIM method.
