Abstract

Bismuth sodium titanate based lead-free ceramic fiber with the chemical formula of 0.885 (Bi0.5Na0.5) TiO3-0.05(Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3-0.015(Bi0.5Li0.5)TiO3-0.05BaTiO3⁠, BNKLBT-1.5, has been fabricated by a powder-based extrusion method. The ceramic fibers with 400μm diameter were well crystallized after being calcined at 800°C and sintered at 1170°C⁠. The piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of the single fiber were found to be 155pC / N and ~34.5μC / cm2⁠, respectively, which is comparable with that in bulk sample. 1-3 ceramic/polymer composites were fabricated by two routes, including dice and filled method and fiber pick-and-place method. Theoretical models were used to calculate the piezoelectric properties of the composites and compared with experimental results.
