According to lead researcher Dr. Raj Mutharasan, a professor in Drexel’s College of Engineering, the group’s unique application of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) to current piezoelectric-excited ...

Results presented here demonstrate the ability to exploit enhanced piezoelectric effects in PZT elements on soft supports for precision, skin-mounted sensors for pressure. When coupled to SiNM ...

However, the sensitivity of the sensor decreases at temperatures higher than 350 degrees Celsius, which is higher than those of conventional transducers made of lead zirconate titanate (PZT), but ...

From 1999 to 2005, Werlink worked at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, where he focused on the Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) sensors, which incorporated NASA Langley patents and ...

By utilizing the pyroelectric effect, these thin-film PZT sensors have both high sensitivity and fast response times to ensure rapid and accurate detection of gas, flame, motion, food and organic ...

Piezoelectric sensors (PZT) are strategically distributed in polyimide films — called Acellent's SMART Layers — that adhere to an airplane's surface to monitor specific regions for damage.

Credit: Randy Montoya/Sandia National Laboratories CVM and PZT are considered the maturing technologies. With CVM, a sensor in the form of a self-adhesive elastomeric patch—about the size of a ...

The material most commonly selected for use in ultrasonic sensors in meters is lead zirconium titanate, usually known as PZT or piezoceramic. The key attribute of PZT is its marked piezoelectric ...
