Particle Size Analysis of Piezoelectric Ceramics

This application note shows how the laser diffraction technique can be effectively used as an inspection tool for the synthesis of piezoelectric ceramics. While PZT is used as an example in this paper, the manufacturing of many other lead-free piezoelectric components are also highly dependent on particle size. The LA-960 can assist in the development and quality control of the process by rapidly determining the particle size to guide the manufacturing process, thereby, reducing production costs.
