In this study, in order to develop multilayer ceramic actuator for ultrasonic nozzle and ultrasonic vibrator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics were fabricated using $Li_2CO_3$. $Na_2CO_3$ and ZnO as sintering aids. And then, their piezoelectric and dielectric properties according to the amount of ZnO addition were investigated. The addition of ZnO improved density, dielectric constant, electromechanical coupling factor, mechanical quality factor and piezoelectric d constant of PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics due to the increase of sinterability and accepter doping effect. Electromechanical coupling factor and mechanical quality factor of PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics increased with ZnO amount up to 0.4wt% and then decreased. At the sintering temperature of $900^{\circ}C$ and 0.4wt% ZnO addition, density, dielectric constant, electromechanical coupling factor, mechanical quality factor and piezoelectric d constant showed the optimum value of 7.876g/$cm^2$, 1299, 0.612, 1151 and 369pC/N, respectively.

Piezoelectric properties of PZT-PSN ceramics were investigated as a function of WO$_3$ addition from 0 wt% to 6.0 wt%. The dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics of PZT-PSN ceramics have been investigated at different calcination (80$0^{\circ}C$~90$0^{\circ}C$) and sintering (110$0^{\circ}C$~130$0^{\circ}C$) temperatures. The grain size was increased with the addition of WO$_3$and the sintering temperatures. Anisotropic properties of electromechanical coupling coefficient and piezoelectric coefficient are proven to be dependent on processing temperatures and amount of addition. At the specimen with 0.6 wt% WO$_3$ addition, using calcination temperature of 80$0^{\circ}C$ and sintering temperature of 110$0^{\circ}C$ , mechanical quality factor(Q$_{m}$) and electromechanical coupling coefficient(k$_{p}$) showed the excellent results of 1560 and 0.48, respectively Experimental results indicated that the PZT-PSN system ceramics with WO$_3$impurity could be effectively used for the microtransformer and actuator applications, etc.etc.

Porous piezoelectric ceramics of PZT have been newly developed to apply for ultrasonic transducers. The porous PZT was prepared from a mixture of PZT and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) powders by BURPS(Burnout Plastic Sphere) technique. Porous PZT bodies were shown a homogeneous microstructure consisting of 30 - 80 (${\mu}m$) pore size in sintered PZT bodies. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties on various PVA wt.% have investigated.

The PZT(lead, zirconium, titanium) based ceramics which, are reported to be ferroelectric materials have their important applications in the areas of surface acoustic waves (SAW), filters, infrared detectors, actuators, ferroelectric random acess memory, speakers, electronic switches etc. Moreover, these PZT materials possess the large electromechanical coupling factor, large spontaneous polarization, low dielectric loss and low internal stress etc. Hence, keeping in view the unique properties of PZT piezoelectric ceramics we also tried to synthesize indigenously the small sized PZT ceramic powder in the laboratory by using the modified sol-gel approach. In this paper, Propyl alcohol based sol-gel method was used for preparation of PZT piezoelectric ceramic. The powder obtained by this sol-gel process was calcined and sintering to reach a pyrochlore-free crystal phase. The characterization of synthesized material was carried out by the XRD analysis and the surface morphology was determined by high resolution scanning electron microscopy.

In this paper, the compositional and sintering time dependences of dielectric, electrooptic properties for X/55/45([Ca$.$La$.$Nb]/Zr/Ti)CLN-PZT ceramics, where X is ranged from 3.0 to 11.0 mol %, have been investigated. As CLN mol% is increased, density, curie-temperature and dielectric constant are decreased, and also grain size and transmittance are increased, With the increment of CLN mol %. longitudinal mode electromechanical coupling coefficient is decreased and P-E hysterisis loop became slim-loop slowly. The crystal structure of CLN-PZt ceramics is changed from rhombohedral to tetragonal and pseudo-cubic according to the increment of CLN mol%.

Perovskite PMN-PZT-based ceramics were prepared and the$ MnO_2$ doping effects on their piezoelectric properties were investigated. Grain size decreased with increasing the $MnO_2$ content, and the pyrochlore phase was not identified in the sintered PMN-PZT ceramics with 0.01～1.0wt% $MnO_2$. Piezoelectric voltage and charge constants were reduced and mechanical quality factor increased with increasing the $MnO_2$ content. However, electromechanical coupling coefficient slightly decreased with increasing the MnO$_2$ content without regard to the grain size.

In the study, the Acoustic transducer of a thin circular disc-type with PZT/Metal was manufactured. The 'tape casting method' was introduced to prepare the thin disc-type of piezoelectric ceramics. The acoustic characteristics of PZT/Metal acoustic transducer for piezoelectric buzzer and piezoelectric speaker etc. have been studied and analyzed. As a result, the sound pressure level (dB), in the range from -6dB to -14dB, increased with increasing the piezoelectric coeffeicient ($d_{31}$) of ceramics. The optimal conditions of the sound pressure characteristics of acoustic transducer were that the radius ratio(${\eta}$) of ceramics and metal plate is 0.7-0.8 and the thickness ratio(${\beta}$) is 1.0, and the value were -15~-165dB.

In the fields of the optics, precise machine, semiconductors, the micro-positioning actuators are required for the control of position in the submicron range. PNN-P2N-PZT ceramics were fabricated with various mole ratio of the PZT[Pb(Zr$_{1}$2//Ti$_{1}$2)O$_3$]. PNN (Pb(Ni$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/)O$_3$]and PZN[Pb(Zn$_{1}$3//Nb/sbu 2/3/)O$_3$] powders prepared by double calcination and PZT powders prepared by molten- salt synthesis method. The relative permittivity of specimen with PZT 0.3 mole ratio was shown 5,320 and appeared the relaxor ferroelectric feature. The maximum Piezoelectric coefficient d$_{31}$ to be used for evaluation the displacement of piezoceramics in PNN-PZN-PZT ceramics was 324$\times$10$^{-12}$ (C/V) at the vicinity of morphotropic phase boundary and was larger than that of solid PZT ceramics(120$\times$10$^{-12}$ C/V).

In this study, in order to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric transformer, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PSN-PZT ceramics were investigated according to Zr/Ti ratio. As Zr/Ti ratio is increased, coupling factor(kp) and dielectric constant were increased and then decreased after the ratio of Zr/Ti=50/50. And also, mechanical quality factor were decreased and then increased after the ratio of Zr/Ti=50/50.

In this study, in order to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric actuator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics using ${Fe_2}{O_3}$ and $WO_3$ as sintering aids were manufactured with the amount of $WO_3$ addition, and the specimens were sintered at 900, 930, $960^{\circ}C$, respectively. Thereafter, their dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The sintering aids were proved to lower the sintering temperature of piezoelectric ceramics due to the effects of ${Fe_2}{O_3}$ and $WO_3$ liquid phase. At 0.3wt% $WO_3$ added specimen sintered at $930^{\circ}C$, kp, Qm, dielectric constant and $d_{33}$ showed the optimum values of 0.60, 1402, 1440 and 360[pC/N], respectively, for multilayer piezoelectric actuator application.
