Lead-free Materials Research – The Fabrication of Multi-layer Actuators with Lead free Piezoelectric Compositions

On the project

In the project we propose to demonstrate the feasibility of fabricating multi-layer stack actuators using two established compositions (KNN and BCZT), and utilising noble metal electrodes so that fabrication can involve sintering temperatures above 1000 °C. Actuator performance will be compared to that predicted from the material parameters.
