Abstract

Lead titanate-based ceramics with different microstructures were prepared from PbO-TiO2 gels with equimolar and non-equimolar mixtures of the oxides. Deviations from the initial compositions were found in the sintered materials. As a consequence, microstructures with different grain sizes and secondary phases were developed in the resultant ceramics. These microstructures had a strong influence on the piezoelectric behaviour of the materials obtained.
