Piezoelectric materials and their applications

CEITEC VUT-DS209AAk. rok: 2014/2015

This PhD course is focused on the study of piezoelectric ceramic materials and their functional application. The course will initially help to the student to understand the importance of the piezoelectric ceramic materials and to the wide range of the applications where they can be used. The second important part of this program will discuss the processing and manufacturing principles for the wide range of the applications. This course will also include the characterisation of the mechanical and electrical properties of piezoelectric ceramics and the importance of understanding the various techniques that are used. Thus the successful student should be able to prepare, process and characterise piezoelectric ceramic materials and discuss their applications.

Osnovy výuky


1. Piezoelectric materials, and piezoelectric ceramics in particular, their importance in the commercial world. Most common structures of piezoceramics and different groups of piezoceramic materials.
2. General understanding of piezoelectric properties principles and their influence on the wide range of applications such as sensors, actuators, transducers etc.
3. Processing of piezoceramic materials (bulk, film and composite) from ceramic powder to green ceramic to final sintered product. Different processing techniques.
4. Characterization of physical properties of ceramics, during all stages of processing such as (particle size distribution of powders, viscosity, density, porosity, grain size etc..)
5. Piezoceramics bulk applications and piezocomposite applications - advantages and disadvantages
6. Electrical characterization of piezoelectric materials, poling techniques, electroding, measurements of piezoelectric properties of bulk ceramics/ piezocomposites.
7. Processing of active piezoceramic/ piezocomposites to functional product/ prototype such as actuator, sensor or transducers, with appreciation of the wide range of techniques and processes involved.
