Abstract
PZT fibres are promising candidates as sensors and actuators for adaptive composite materials. In order to maintain the excellent mechanical properties of a composite PZT fibres should have diameters below 50 μm. A sol-gel process has been developed delivering dense and polycrystalline single PZT fibres for the first time. Fibres of this type can be arranged in well ordered planar arrays, electroded by means of interdigital electrodes and integrated into glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP). The present paper reports on the fabrication and properties of PZT fibres and the technology approach of their integration.
