Abstract
Porous lead zirconate titanate (PZT 95/5) ferroelectric ceramics were prepared by sintering compacts consisting of PZT and pore formers. The piezoelectric, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of porous PZT ceramics were investigated as a function of pore shape and porosity. Piezoelectric coefficient ( d 33), dielectric constant ( ɛ 33) and remnant polarization ( P r) decreased with an increase in porosity, and the porous PZT ceramics with spherical pores exhibited better properties than that with irregular pores. Furthermore, the electrical conductivities of PZT ceramics were investigated to explain the phenomena that porous PZT ceramics exhibited lower dielectric loss (tan δ) than dense PZT ceramics in the temperature range from 250 to 500 °C.
