Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The effect of the preparation procedure on the structural perfection, morphology, and particle size of anisotropic ferroelectric powders intended for use as the active component of 0–3 piezoceramic–polymer composites is studied using x-ray diffraction and optical microscopy.
