A ZnO–PTFE nanocomposite is formed from a cold sintering process with volume fractions of
PTFE up to 40 vol%. The polymer is distributed along grain boundaries and used to limit …

Controlling the grain growth and grain boundary morphology is of great importance in the
manipulation of electrical properties of electro-ceramics. However, it has been a challenge …

Abstract In this work, CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 modified by Al 2 O 3 (w= 0, 0.05, 0.1, 1%) powders
were prepared via a sol–gel process, and then the ceramics were prepared by conventional …

In this study, the Cold Sintering Process (CSP) is used to design ceramic-polymer
composites with Polyvinylidene fluoride Trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE), a ferroelectric co …

To investigate the effect of different pH values (pH= 1, 3, 5, 7) of a solution used to prepare
CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 (CCTO) ceramics on the microstructure and dielectric properties of the …

We report, the effect of heat treatments slow cooling, rapid thermal cooling (quenching) and
microwave-assisted heating, on structural, microstructural and J–E characteristics of CaCu 3 …

The dielectric and ferroelectric properties of perovskitetype oxides (ABO3) strongly depend
on constituent elements, microstructure, and defects etc. Various approaches such as …

Piezoelectric materials are an integral part of modernday electronics because of their ability
to transduce an electrical signal into a mechanical strain, and vice versa. Lead-free …

A series of calcium copper titanate (CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12, CCTO) samples are prepared by a
citric acid sol–gel method and the effect of sintering conditions on microstructure, dielectric …

The abnormal dielectric behaviors of the perovskite oxide CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 (CCTO)
ceramics were discussed. The hysteretic dc current–voltage (I–V) curves that change …
