Abstract
Sol-gel routes were developed to prepare densified PZT fibers. The effects of the degree of hydrolysis and the addition of an organic polymer to the precursor sol on fiber forming ability were investigated. Results on the crystalline and microstructural development of gels and fibers are presented. The effects of the incorporation of excess PbO and sintering atmosphere are also discussed, particularly in relation to densification.
