Abstract
In the conventional poling method, piezoelectric ceramics and composites are poled by applying a large dc voltage. Poling of composites having a polymer matrix with 0–3 connectivity is especially difficult because the electric field within the high‐dielectricconstant grains is far smaller than in the low‐dielectric‐constant polymer matrix. Therefore, very large electric fields are required to pole these types of composites. However, large electric fields often cause dielectric breakdown of the samples. In this study for improved poling, the corona discharge technique was used to pole piezoelectric ceramics, fired PZT composites, and 0.5PbTiO3· 0.5BiFeO3 0–3 polymer composites. An experimental setup for corona poling is described. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of materials poled by the corona discharge technique were comparable to those obtained with the conventional poling method.
