Abstract
(EN)
A piezoelectrically active conformal filler material is incorporated in a 1-3, 3-3 or 2-2 piezocomposite structure. The piezoelectrically active conformal filler material has a 0-3 structure and is made of fine piezoelectric ceramic particles surrounded by a conformal polymer matrix. Using such piezocomposite material, the reception and transmission sensitivity (efficiency) of a piezoelectric layer can be improved without any increase in the acoustic impedance of the final piezoelectric layer. The resulting piezocomposite material can be used to fabricate ultrasonic transducer arrays.
(FR)
On incorpore un matériau d'apport conforme, à activité piézoélectrique, dans une structure piézocomposite 1-3, 3-3 ou 2-2. Ce matériau, qui présente une structure 0-3, est constitué de fines particules céramiques piézoélectriques entourées d'une matrice polymère conforme. L'utilisation d'un tel matériau permet d'améliorer la sensibilité (l'efficacité) de réception et de transmission d'une couche piézoélectrique, sans augmenter l'impédance acoustique de la couche piézoélectrique finale. Le matériau considéré peut entrer dans la fabrication de réseaux de transducteurs ultrasonores.
