Porous Piezoelectric Ceramics: Materials for Ultrasonic Flaw Detection and Medical Diagnostics

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The key features of the piezoelectric materials for ultrasonic transducers are considered. A procedure is described for the fabrication of porous piezoelectric ceramics. It is shown that, owing to their high piezoelectric performance and ease of fabrication, porous ceramics may compete with lead niobate and piezoelectric composites in the fields of medical diagnostics and ultrasonic flaw detection.
