Abstract
PZT fibers with the nominal composition of Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O x have been successfully drawn by the sol-gel techniques. Ti(O·i–C3H7)4, Zr(O·n–C4H9)4, and Pb(O2C8H15)2 were used as the starting materials. The rheological conditions for continuous gel fiber drawing were determined. Thermal and microstructural evolutions of gel fibers were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Perovskite crystalline fibers without breakage were obtained by a two-stage heat treatment on the gel fibers up to 600°C in air. Bending strength of the fibers decreases with the increase of the fiber diameter and is ranged from 10 to 30 MPa.
