In this study, the piezoelectric ceramics PZT powder was synthesized by the Wet-Dry combination method. Flexible 1-3 type composite specimens were fabricated with the piezoceramics PZT filler phase and Eccogel polymer matrix phase. This paper represents the pulse-echo response of the 1-3 type composite transducer to check it out to investigate a basic property regarding a level limit switch. The acoustic impedance of 1-3 type composite was improved than that of single phase PZT ceramics. The pulse-echo response of transducer fabricated with the self-made 1-3 type composites resonator was better than that of the solid PZT transducer.

In this study, multilayer piezoelectric transformer were manufactured using the PZN-PMN-PZT ceramic and then the electrical characteristics were investigated. The voltage step-up ratio of multilayer piezoelectric transformer showed the maximum value in the vicinity of 78.16kHz and increased according to the increase of load resistance. When the output impedance coincided with the load resistance, piezoelectric transformer showed the temperature increase of about $20^{\circ}C$ at the output power of 12W. The results, the multilayer transformer manufactured using the low temperature sintered PZN-PMN-PZT ceramics can be stably driven for step-up transformers.

In this study, multilayer piezoelectric transformer was manufactured using the PMN-PNN-PZT ceramic and then the electrical characteristics were investigated according to the variations of frequency and load resistance. The voltage step-up ratio of multilayer piezoelectric transformer showed the maximum value at the vicinity of 75 kHz and increased according to the increase of load resistance. When the output impedance coincided with the load resistance, the multilayer piezoelectric transformer showed the temperature rise of less than $20^{\circ}C$ at the output power of 20 W. As the results, the multilayer piezoelectric transformer manufactured at low co-firing temperature of $940^{\circ}C$ using PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics could be stably driven as the step-down transformers.

In this study, in order to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric transformer, PCW-PMN-PZT ceramics using Li$_2$CO$_3$, Bi$_2$O$_3$, and CuO as sintering aids were manufactured according to the amount of MnO$_2$ addition. Their microstructural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. When the sintering aids were added, specimens could be sintered below 95$0^{\circ}C$, but mechanical qualify factor decreased. Therefore, MnO$_2$ was added excessively to the PCW-PMN-PZT ceramics to increase mechanical quality factor. At the sintering temperature of 95$0^{\circ}C$, the density, dielectric constant($\varepsilon$$_{r}$), electromechanical coupling factor(k$_{p}$), mechanical quality factor(Q$_{m}$) and Curie temperature(T$_{c}$) of 0.1 wt% MnO$_2$ added specimen showed the optimal values of 7.75 g/㎤, 1503, 0.57, 1502, and 337, respectively, for multilayer piezoelectric transformer application.ation.n.

In this study, in order to develop low temperature sintering ceramics for ultrasonic vibrator, PNW-PMN-PZT system ceramics were manufactured with the amount of $CaCO_3$ addition and their piezoelectric, dielectric and microstructural characteristics were investigated. $CaCO_3$ addition to PNW-PMN-PZT basic composition was proved to be capable of sintering the ceramics at temperature below $1000^{\circ}C$ due to the effect of $Li_2CO_3-CaCO_3$ liquid phase. However, with increasing the amount of $CaCO_3$ addition, the second phase was appeared. As the results, electromechanical coupling coefficient (kp) and dielectric constant $(\epsilon_r)$ decreased. Taking into consideration electromechanical coupling coefficient (kp) of 0.49, mechanical quality factor (Qm) of 1396, dielectric constant $(\epsilon_r)$ of 1300 and density of $7.78[g/cm^2]$, it was concluded that the 0.25wt% $CaCO_3$ addition composition ceramics sintered at $920^{\circ}C$ was suitable for ultrasonic vibrator application.

In this paper, in order to develop the low temperature sintering ceramics for multilayer piezoelectric transformer, PMN-PZT ceramcis using $Li_2CO_3$ and $Bi_2O_3$ as sintering aids were manufactured, and their microstructural, dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The sintering aids were proved to lower the sintering temperature of piezoelectric ceramics due to the effect of $LiBiO_2$ liquid phase. At 0.1wt% $Li_2CO_3$ added specimen sintered at $970[^{\circ}C]$, electromechanical coupling factor(Kp), mechanical quality factor(Qm) and dielectric constant showed the optimum values of 0.50, 2,413 and 1,245, respectively, for multilayer piezoelectric transformer application.

In this paper, in order to develop the composition ceramics with the excellent dielectric properties, $Pb(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})_{0.03}(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.09}(Zr_{0.5}Ti_{0.5})_{0.88}O_3$ ceramics were fabricated by the conventional solid-state method. The effects of ZnO addition on their microstructure and piezoelectric properties were systematically investigated. The rhombohedral-tetragonal phase coexistence has been found in the ceramics without ZnO content and then with further increasing ZnO content, specimens exhibited tetragonal phase. The optimized ZnO content formed liquid phase and aided the grain growth of specimens. When 0.4 wt% ZnO was added, the optimal physical properties ($d_{33}=422pC/N$, $d_{31}=161pC/N$, ${\varepsilon}_r=1,905$, $k_p=0.55$, $Q_m=160$) were obtained.

In this paper, in order to develop low temperature sintering piezoelectric ceramics for piezoelectric transformer, PMW-PMN-PZT ceramics using 0.25wt%$CaCO_3$ and 0.2wt%$Li_2CO_3$ as sintering aids were fabricated according to the variation of amount of PMW and Zr/Ti ratio. Specimens could be sintered at 900$^{\circ}C$ by adding sintering aids. As Zr/Ti ratio was increased, kp was increased and Qm was decreased by approaching MPB region, and kp showed the largest value of 0.58 at Zr/Ti:50/50. The variation of amount of PMN substitution affected the liquid phase sintering of the ceramics using sintering aids, and decreased piezoelectric properties.

The effects of high energy ball-milling (HEBM) on the sintering behavior and piezoelectric properties of 0.1 wt% $Li_2CO_3$ doped 0.8Pb($Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}$)$O_3$-0.2Pb($Zr_{0.475}Ti_{0.525}$)$O_3$ (PMN-PZT) ceramics were investigated. It was found that HEBM treatment was quite effective to reduce the average particle size down to 300 nm, leading to increased density as well as enhanced piezoelectric properties of a sintered specimen even though prolonged HEBM resulted in unwanted secondary phases that caused a degradation of piezoelectric properties. The dielectric constant ($\varepsilon_r$), piezoelectric coupling factor ($k_p$) and piezoelectric constant $d_{33}$ of 0.1 wt% $Li_2CO_3$ doped PMN-PZT ceramics prepared via HEBM for 10 h reached 2040, 0.68 and 554 pC/N, respectively.

In this paper, in order to develop the composition ceramics with the outstanding piezoelectric properties, $Pb(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})_{0.03}(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.09}(Zr_{0.5}Ti_{0.5})_{0.88}O_3$ ceramics substituted with $BiFeO_3$ were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The addition of small amount of $Li_2CO_3$ and $CaCO_3$ as sintering aids decreased the sintering temperature of the ceramics. The effects of $BiFeO_3$ substitution on their piezoelectric and dielectric properties were investigated. when 0.015 mol $BiFeO_3$ was substituted, the optimal physical properties of $d_{33}=590pC/N$, $E_c=8.78kV/mm$ were obtained.
