This project deals with the development of a family of piezoelectric            ceramic polymer composites with high sensitivity for sensor                     applications.  Composites consisting of three-dimensionally connected           polymer matrix loaded with discrete ceramic particles are especially            interesting because of their large piezoelectric voltage coefficients,          flexibility, and ease of fabrication.  To achieve useful piexoelectric          properties, a higher volume fraction of filler is necessary.                    Fabrication procedures presently used for this type of composite are            limited by the difficulty in incorporating higher loading of the                ceramic filler in the incorporating higher loading of the ceramic               filler in the polymer matrix.  This project will develop a new                  preparation procedure to prepare composites with a high volume of               piezoelectric ceramics (lead zirconate titanate, lead titanate, lead            zinc niobate) and various piezoelectric coefficients for a variety of           applications.  Conventional and corona discharge poling techniques will         be used to electrically polarize the composites.  The effect of using a         coupling agent on dielectric and piezoelectric properties of composites         will also be investigated.
