Thermoplastic Extrusion to Highly‐Loaded Thin Green Fibres Containing Pb(Zr,Ti)O3*
Thanks are extended to the Centre of Structure Technologies, ETH‐Zürich, for permitting access to their equipment, and to A. Belloli for assisting with the piezoelectric characterisation.
Abstract
enBecause of their piezoelectric properties lead zirconate titanate (PZT) fibres are used in several electronic applications. Such fibres can be produced by extrusion. Therefore the extrusion behaviour of highly loaded thermoplastic feedstocks (PZT‐polymer compound) has been investigated depending on the surfactant concentration and the powder preparation method. After sintering butterfly curves were measured for single fibres.
