Project description:
Piezoceramic materials are indispensable in robotics, energy conversion, medical technology, consumer electronics, and autonomous vehicles. However, their increasing use is becoming a large problem as they contain large amounts of toxic lead, which cannot be recycled and ends up as electronic waste. The numerous lead-free piezoceramics developed over the past years fail to reach the high performance of their lead-based counterparts and thus new approaches are required. The aim of this project is to utilize 3D printing to design environmentally-friendly lead-free piezoceramics and composites with improved electromechanical performance to overcome the above stated issues.
