Abstract

A triphasic ferroelectric composite is obtained when ferroelectric potassium tantalate niobate particles [KTN] with a high dielectric constant and electric conductivity are embedded in a traditional 0–3 manganese and niobate modified lead zirconate titanate [PMNZT]/polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene [P(VDF-TrFE)] copolymer biphasic-ferroelectric composite. The electric properties are studied for the ferroelectric composite in which the volume fraction of KTN particles is in the range 0%–24% and KTN is a passive phase. The experimental data show that the volume fraction of KTN particles strongly influence the electric properties of ferroelectric composite, and that the triphasic composite doped with KTN has higher ferroelectric, piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties than the biphasic composite with the same PMNZT volume fraction.
