Xh. Li et al., STUDY ON PROPERTIES OF AL2O3 WHISKER-REINFORCED PZT95 5 TYPE FERROELECTRIC TRANSITIONAL CERAMICS/, Integrated ferroelectrics, 13(1-3), 1996, pp. 363-369
9 Al2O3 . 2B(2)O(3) whisker was used to reinforce PZT95/5 type ferroel
ectric transitional ceramics. The relation between properties (includi
ng electric and mechanical properties) and and whisker was studied. Ex
periment results indicate: Composites with proper whisker content can
keep electric properties almost as good as that of base material, whil
e improve mechanical properties effectively. Whisker pulling and bridg
ing play important roles in the process of reinforcing.
