In this paper we investigated the structural dielectric and piezoelectric properties of 0.03Pb(Sb$\_$1/2//Nb$\_$1/2/)-0.97Pb(Zr$\_$0.495//Ti$\_$0.505/)O$_3$+0.5 wt% excess PbO + wt% MnO(X=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) ceramics to develop the high-power piezoelectric transformer. The piezoelectric transformers with dimension of 27.5$\times$27.5$\times$2.5［mm$^3$］were fabricated and their electrical properties were measured. Maxima of piezoelectric properties such as electro-mechanical coupling factor of 0.534 and mechanical quality factor of 1487 were obtained for the PSN-PZT with 0.3wt% MnO. voltage step-up ratios of piezoelectric transformers at 500［Ω］and no load were 0.78, 12.82, respectively. The maximum efficiency of piezoelectric transformer was 98.6% at 800［Ω］. While the 14W fluorescent lamp were driven by the piezoelectric transformer for more than 20［min］, increment of temperature in the piezoelectric transformer was 7［$\^{C}$］.

Composition with O-3 connectivity were fabricated from PZT and phenolic resin powders. These composites were investigated for dielectric and pizoelectric properties with PZT-polymer interface porosity variation. The interface porosity dependence of dielectric and piezoelectric properties was especially discussed by porosity factors. The interface porosity dependence of piezoelectric constant was larger than that of dielectric constant. It was considered that the interface pore plays the role of a stress buffer. Thus the local stress applied on PZT particles in the composite was remarkably diminish.

The piezoelectric properties of 0.05pb(A $l_{0.5}$N $b_{0.5}$) $O_3$-0.95Pb(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_3$+0.7wt%N $b_2$ $O_{5}$ +0.5wt%Mn $O_2$ceramics with the additives of BaC $O_3$were investigated. For the additions of BaC $O_3$, the dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$$^{T}$ $_{33}$ ), the piezoelectric constant ( $d_{33}$ ), the electromechanical coupling factor ( $k_{p}$ ), and . the mechanical quality factor ( $Q_{m}$ ) were increased, but dielectric loss (tan$\delta$) was decreased. The highest piezoelectric properties and dielectric properties were observed at the sintered temperature of 120$0^{\circ}C$ and 0.4 wt% of BaC $O_3$, and the properties of $d_{33}$ , $k_{p}$ , and $Q_{m}$ were 339(x10$^{-12}$ C/N), 59% and 1754, respectively.vely.y.y.

To develop the piezoelectric actuator, the structural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties and electric fieldinduced strain of the ceramics(Pb$\_$1-2/Ba$\_$x/)[Mg$\_$1/2/W$\_$1/2/)$\_$0.03/-Ni$\_$1/3/Nb$\_$2/3/)$\_$0.12/-(Zr$\_$0.5/Ti$\_$0.5/)$\_$0.85/]O$_3$(x=0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1) were investigated with the substitution of Ba. The tetragonality of crystal structure and grain size decreased by the substitution of Ba. Curie temperature decreased due to the decrease of the tetragonality, and dielectric constants increased with the substitution of Ba. The coercive field, remnant polarization and electromechanical coupling factor also decreased, whereas the piezoelectric constatns d$\_$33/ and d$\_$31/ were showed the highest value of 430 and 209(x10$\^$-12/C/N), respectively, because of the increase of dielectric constant. The strain induced by 60Hz AC electric field had the maximum value of 204x10$\^$-6/Δℓ/ℓ at the substitution of Ba 3mol%. As the applied electric field approaches to the coercive field, the piezoelectric element is depolarized and the electric field induced strain revealed non-linearity.

The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the xPb(A $l_{0.5}$N $b_{0.5}$) $O_3$-(1-x)Pb(Z $r_{0.52}$ $Ti_{0.48}$) $O_3$ [xPAN-(1-x)PZT] thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were investigated as a function of PAN contents. The effect of texture on dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the 0.05PAN-0.95PZT thin films having the highest piezoelectric constant( $d_{33}$) was studied more precisely. For 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.15 compositions in xPAN-(1-x)PZT thin films, the well-developed perovskite phase with (111) preferred orientation was obtained at the deposition temperature of 50$0^{\circ}C$. With increasing PAN content, remanent polarization and coercive field decreased. The dielectric constant increased with an increase of PAN content until it reached 1450 at $\chi$= 0.05, and then decreased for higher PAN content. The maximum points of dielectric constant coincides with the maximum points of the piezoelectric constant $d_{33}$.33/.33/././.

In this paper, the piezoelectric and dielectric properties as a function of x and r in $yPbZr_xTi_{1-x}O_3-(1-y)Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ piezoelectric ceramics is investigated. As a results, when y is 0.95 and x is 0.505, electromechanical coupling factor($k_p$), permittivity(${{\varepsilon}_{33}}^T/{\varepsilon}_0$), piezoelectric strain constant($d_{33}$) and mechanical quality factor($Q_m$) are 58[%], 1520, 272 [pC/N] and 1550, respectively. From XRD analysis, when x is 0.505, it is MPB which present rhombohedral and tetragonal phase in same quantity. Also, From SEM observation. when sintering temperature is 1150[$^{\circ}C$], grain size is about 2 [${\mu}m$]. As y decreases, piezoelectric and dielectric properties and curie temperature decreases, but mechanical quality factor and sintering temperature increases.

In an approach to acclimate ourselves torecent ecological consciousness trend, a lead-free piezoelectric material, bismuth sodium titanate (abbreviated as BNT) based bismuth sodium barium titanate (abbreviated as BNT-BT), was considered as an environment-friendly alternative for a lead based piezoelectric system. Ceramic specimens of0.94[(BixNa0.5)TiO3]-0.06[BaTiO3] (x = 0.500~0.515) compositions were prepared by a modified mixed oxide method. To increase the chemical homogeneity andre action activity, high energy mechanical milling machine and pre-milled nanosized powder has been used. In this method (BixNa0.5)TiO3 (x=0.500~0.515) andBaTiO3 were prepared separately from pre-milled constituent materials at low calcination temperature and then separately prepared BNTX (X=1, 2, 3 and 4) and BT were mixed by high energy mechanical milling machine. Without further calcination step the mixed powders were pressed into disk shape and sintered at $1110^{\circ}C$. Microstructures, phase structures and electrical properties of the ceramic specimens were systematically investigated. Highly dense ceramic specimens with homogenous grains were prepared in spite of relatively low sintering temperature. Phase structures were not significantly influenced by the excess amount Bi. Large variation on the piezoelectric and dielectric properties was detected at relative high excess Bi amounts. When $x{\leq}0.505$, the specimens exhibit insignificant variation in piezoelectric and dielectric constant though depolarization temperature is found to be decreased. Considerable amount of decrease in piezoelectric and dielectric properties are observed with higher excess of Bi amounts ($x{\geq}0.505$). This research indicates the advantages of high energy mechanical milling and importance of proper maintenance of Bi stoichiometry.

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramic/epoxy composites with '0-3' connectivity were prepared by cold-pressing with a temperature controlled curing method. A ceramic powder with a composition of $(Na_{0.51}K_{0.47}Li_{0.02})(Nb_{0.8}Ta_{0.2})O_3$ was synthesized by a conventional solid state reaction route. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties of ceramic/epoxy composites were characterized as a function of the volume fraction (${\phi}$) of piezoelectric ceramics, which was varied from 70 to 95 vol%. The results indicated that the piezoelectric properties of composites were significantly affected by the volume fraction of ceramics. In terms of the piezoelectric properties, specimens showed the best performance at ${\phi}$= 85 vol%, resulting in the piezoelectric constant $d_{33}$ of 39 pC/N and the figure of merit as a piezoelectric energy harvester ($d_{33}{\cdot}g_{33}$) of 1.24 $pm^2/N$.

In this paper, in order to develop optimum composition ceramics with excellent piezoelectric properties, $(Na_{0.525}K_{0.443}Li_{0.037})(Nb_{0.823}Sb_{0.08}Ta_{0.037})O_3+0.3wt%Bi_2O_3+0.4wt%Fe_2O_3$ lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were synthesized by conventional soild-state method. The calcination temperature of columbite precursors were fabricated at temperature range from $950^{\circ}C$ to $1,150^{\circ}C$ and sintering aids with low melting point were added to densify these ceramics. Effect of calcination temperature on dielectric and piezoelectric properties of ceramics were investigated. the ceramics with B-site columbite precursors at temperature of $1,100^{\circ}C$ obtained the optimal values of $d_{33}=272$ [pC/N], $k_p=0.51$, $Q_m=102$, ${\varepsilon}_r=978$.
