FABRICATION OF PIEZOELECTRIC CERAMlClPOLYMER COMPOSITES BY INJECTION MOLDING
نویسنده
چکیده
Research at the Materials Research Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University has demonstrated the potential for improving hydrophone performance using piezoelectric ceramic/polymer composites. As part of an ONR-funded initiative to develop cost-effective manufacturing technology for these composites, Materials Systems is pursuing an injection molding ceramic fabrication approach. This paper briefly overviews key features of the ceramic injection molding process, then describes the approach and methodology being used to fabricate PZT ceramic/polymer composites. Properties and applications of injection molded PZT ceramics are compared with conventionally processed material.

Investigation of effective parameters on fabrication of alumina parts by low pressure injection molding (LPIM) method
Low pressure injection molding (LPIM) method in this paper is investigated as a method of forming alumina parts. This is one of the methods of making engineering ceramics with complex shapes and high dimensional accuracy. In this method, a binder system (paraffin wax + carnuba wax) was used as a plastic agent for easy formation of alumina particles. Different parameters such as feedstock temper...
متن کاملOn the Study of Mechanical Properties of Aluminum/Nano-Alumina Composites Produced via Powder Injection Molding
Powder Injection Molding (PIM) is a precision manufacturing process used for production of advanced composites. Mixing of polymeric binder with metal powders, molding of feedstock, de-binding of brown parts and sintering of green samples are four main steps of this process. In the present study, the compounds containing multi-component binder system and aluminum/ nano-alumina (0-9 wt.%) powders...

Lead titanate (PT)/vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)) copolymer 0-3 composites have been fabricated by solution blending followed by conipression-molding. In order to obtain piezoelectric and pyroelectric activities the composites have been polarized by a stepwise poling method. Samples with (i) polarization in the ceramic phase only and (ii) parallel polarization in the cerami...

Drop on demand printing (DDP) is a solid freeform fabrication (SFF) technique capable of generating microscale physical features required for tissue engineering scaffolds. Here, we report results toward the development of a reproducible manufacturing process for tissue engineering scaffolds based on injectable porogens fabricated by DDP. Thermoplastic porogens were designed using Pro/Engineer a...
متن کاملThe Effect of Injection Molding Temperature on the Morphology and Mechanical Properties of PP/PET Blends and Microfibrillar Composites
Within this research the effect of injection molding temperature on polypropylene (PP)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) blends and microfibrillar composites was investigated. Injection molding blends (IMBs) and microfibrillar composites (MFCs) of PP/PET have been prepared in a weight ratio 70/30. The samples were processed at three different injection molding temperatures (Tim) (210, 230, 280...
