Piezoelectric device and method of manufacturing same

摘要

The present invention relates to a device and methods of making the same. The method comprises contacting a ceramic powder with a first polymer and surfactant to form a slip mixture, mixing the slip mixture, injecting the slip mixture into a mold to form a green body, removing the mold from the green body, sintering the green body to form a sintered ceramic body, and embedding the sintered ceramic body in a second polymer to form a composite. An apparatus for forming a net shaped green body includes a mold, supplemental mold and mold assembly.
