Piezoelectric composite for sensor applications under extreme external loads

As a result of research conducted at the Fundamentals of Advanced Materials group, at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering of Delft University of Technology, a piezoelectric composite sensor has been developed. Due to a patented combination of piezoelectric ceramic powder and the novel liquid crystalline thermosetting polymer a composite sensor has been manufactured which can retain its piezoelectric effect up to higher temperatures than conventional composite sensors. The full article, as was published in the March 2007 edition of "De Constructeur", a Dutch Engineering magazine.
