In this work multifunctional composites of porous piezoelectric foams made of lead zirconate titanate are compared to ecologically beneficial lead-free lithium sodium potassium niobate.
Reticulated Replica Ceramic Foams
Reticulated porous ceramics are reviewed with a focus on the manufacturing process and its modifications and resulting slurry properties, on subsequent modification strategies and on characterization methods of materials properties.
