presumably by strengthening the ceramic compact at low temperatures. Constrained
sintering was observed when PZT was cold sintered on Ni or Cu foils; these could be
avoided by laminating tape cast PZT and Cu powder instead. However, the Cu2O interface
formed between PZT and Cu is still problematic. The relative permittivity of the 800 C
annealed PZT on Cu is only ~500, with an -e31,f less than 5 C/m2. … This work explores …
