Synthesis and fabrication of lead-free piezoceramics
Řeháková, Bára ; Pouchlý, Václav (referee) ; Částková, Klára (advisor)
The topic of this thesis is synthesis and preparation of lead-free pizoceramic with perovskite structure, in particular potassium-sodium niobate (KNN). In theoretical part are described possibilities of KNN synthesis and of it’s shaping and sintering. Experimental part deals with three types of synthesis described in the theretical part – solid state reaction, hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel synthesis, and subconsequentional shaping of prepared powders by uniaxial pressing, cold isostatic pressure method, sintering (classical in oven, in some cases SPS – spark plasma sintering) of such green body and their following properties like relative density, grain size or charge constant. Preparation of KNN powder by each described method took place, followed by shaping and sintering. Best properties were shown by SPS sintered samples, which reached the highest density and lowest grain growth.

Fabrication of ceramic materials for piezoelectric applications
Karkuszová, Karina ; Spusta, Tomáš (referee) ; Částková, Klára (advisor)
The content of this thesis is about preparation and processing of lead-free piezoceramic materials with perovskite structure. Potassium sodium niobate (KNN) powder was prepared by solid state reaction (SSR) and liquid phase reaction (sol-gel reaction). The powders were formed by uniaxial and isostatic pressing and further sintered. The density, grain size and morphology were determined on the sintered samples. The powder, synthesised by SSR and sintered in a conventional furnace, was chosen as a standard. The maximum density achieved on samples after optimization of sintering cycle was 93 %TD. The sintering optimization involved a homogenization step at 950 °C, which promotes the correct development of the phase composition and microstructure, followed by sintering at 1120 °C. The same approach and sintering cycle were used for sintering the samples, prepared by sol-gel synthesis. The maximum density of the samples prepared by sol-gel reaction and sintered in a conventional way, was 92 %TD. For further comparison, both of the synthesised powders were sintered using SPS (spark plasma sintering), which increased their final density up to 97 %TD. The approximate value of the piezoelectric coefficient d33 (pC/N) has been measured on selected SSR samples with pure phase composition ((K0,5Na0,5)NbO3). The best measured value of d33 was around 100 pC/N.
