Characterization of a Pt-core PZT Fiber/Al Matrix Composite

The objective of this study is to design and characterize a piezoelectric composite and evaluate its suitability for viscosity-measuring applications, i.e., monitoring the coagulation rate of blood. The composite is manufactured of a platinum-core lead zirconate titanate (PZT) fiber inserted into an aluminum matrix. This study characterizes the described composite by testing its impedance, capa...
