Piezoelectric materials have many applications, including sonar technologies and devices that generate and sense ultrasound waves. But for these devices to efficiently generate sonar or ultrasound ...

undersea sonar and small medical diagnostic devices. For more than half a century, conventional piezoelectric materials, which are highly toxic and lead-based, have been commercially dominant.

Franz Schubert, Head of Central Development at PI Ceramic, will lead the session, providing insights into the latest breakthroughs in lead-free piezoceramic materials ... and its impact on the future ...

[Jason] has continued to plug along with his sonar build and recently showed up a monostatic active sonar using a piezo element and microphone. Regular readers will remember [Jason’s ...

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) has for several decades been the canonical piezoelectric material, which interconverts ... from vibration dampers to sonar equipment. But the presence of lead is ...
