Q2. What is the effect of the ceramic and copolymer phases on the piezoelectric?
Composites with the ceramic and copolymer phases poled in the same direction can be used as sensing elements in pyroelectric sensors6 as they have enhanced pyroelectric activity but reduced piezoelectric activity, thereby minimizing the vibration induced electrical noise.
Q3. What is the pyroelectric coefficient of the composites?
For pyroelectric polymers, their pyroelectric coefficients are also negative because the disordering of crystalline dipoles increases with increasing temperature which causes a decrease in spontaneous polarization.
Q4. What is the effect of the poling field on the ceramic phase?
As the applied field is much lower than the coercive field of P~VDF-TrFE!, the polarization in the copolymer phase is not affected but the polarization in the PZT phase is reversed.
Q5. How is the poling procedure used to produce composites?
In order to polarize the ceramic phase in an opposite direction relative to the copolymer, these samples are reheated to 50 °C and then a poling field ofa!
Q6. What is the pyroelectric activity of composites with the ceramic and copolymer?
Composites with the ceramic and copolymer phases poled in opposite directions can be used to fabricate ultrasonic transducers7 as they have reinforced piezoelectric property but reduced sensitivity to temperature fluctuation.ll Rights Reserved.
Q7. What is the pyroelectric coefficient of composites?
composites are poled in the same direction ~group 2!, their piezoelectric activities partially cancel and when they are poled in opposite directions ~group 3!, their piezoelectric activities are reinforced ~Fig. 3!. Samples with only the ceramic phase poled ~group 1! have piezoelectric coefficients in between those of group 2 and group 3 samples ~Fig. 3!.For most pyroelectric ceramics, their pyroelectric coefficients are negative because the spontaneous polarization decreases as the temperature increases.
Q8. What is the d33 coefficient of PZT?
After being poled and then subjected to a tensile stress, the thickness increase arises largely from the deformation of the amorphous region,4 so the rigid crystal lamellas are dispersed in a larger volume ~Fig. 2!, thereby causing a decrease in Ps (Ps is proportional to the dipole moment per unit volume!
Q9. What is the composition of the PZT/PVDF-TrFE?
70/30 mol % copolymer ~supplied by Piezotech! used in the present study has a Curie temperature Tch at 103 °C upon heating and Tcc at 70 °C upon cooling as measured by differential scanning calorimetry.
Q10. What is the pyroelectric activity of composites?
composites are poled in the same direction ~group 2!, their pyroelectric activities are reinforced and when they are poled in opposite directions ~group 3!, the pyroelectric activities partially cancel ~Fig. 4!. Group 1 samples have pyroelectric coefficients in between that of group 2 and group 3 samples ~Fig. 4!.In summary, the authors have prepared PZT/P~VDF-TrFE!
Q11. What is the poling procedure for the ceramic phase?
As the sample cools through Tch and Tcc with E0 still applied, the copolymer phase is poled in the same direction as the ceramic phase.
Q12. What is the name of the composite?
Lead zirconate titanate/vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene @PZT/P~VDF-TrFE!# 0–3 composites for pyroelectric sensor and piezoelectric transducer applications have been fabricated by incorporating PZT powder into a P~VDF-TrFE! copolymer matrix.
Q13. What are the properties of the composites?
only the ceramic phase poled, ~2! two phases poled in the same direction to achieve reinforced pyroelectric activity and reduced piezoelectric activity, and ~3!
