The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This article describes the research on the characteristics of various grades of PZT ceramic powder for use in the manufacture of piezoelectric paint. Batches of water-based acrylic paint were made using these lead zirconate titanate powders and evaluated according to their effectiveness as a paint and the quality of the piezoelectric sensors made from them. Four types of nominally similar PZT (Navy type II) were tested, and a clear conclusion drawn that Piezo Kinetics PKI-502 was the best in this application.
