Funded Activity Summary

Fatigue degradation in lead-free piezoelectric ceramics: the key factor for successful industrial implementation. Many everyday devices, that is mobile phones, operate with lead-based ceramics, which can be hazardous; although there are promising lead-free materials, these show complex electric behaviour which can lead to structural damage and device failure. This project will define the degradation mechanisms so that reliable non-toxic ceramics can be designed.
