Abstract

Porous piezoelectric ceramics of P7T have been newly developed to apply for transducers in an echo sounder PZT powders were prepared by the molten salt synthesis method. The porous PZT was prepared from a mixture of PZT and polyvinylalcohol(PVA) powders by BURPS(Burnout Plastic Sphere) technique. The piezoelectric and acoustic properties with various PVA wt.% have studied. The density of porous PZT ceramics was decreased linearly with increasing the PVA sphere wt.%. Piezoelectric coefficient d$\_$33/ of porous PZT ceramics was almost same to that of single phase PZT ceramics. The thickness mode coupling factor k$\_$t/ was ranged over 0.53∼0.59 comparable with the single phase PZT ceramics(k$\_$t/=0.7).
