Piezoelectric ceramic-glass composites for high temperature ultrasound applications
Lead Participant:
IONIX ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES LTD
Abstract
Piezoelectric materials are used to produce and sense ultrasound in instrumentation used to monitor structural
integrity, monitor flows and measure distance variations in a rnage of industrial environments. Ionix Advanced
Technologies specializes in piezoelectric materials and ultrasound devices for the high temperature applications
in this field. The project will develop a new form of piezoelectric material, a composite comprising a
piezoelectric ceramic and a porous glass which will exhibit advantageous properties for ultrasound use at high
temperatures. The resulting instruments will have high sensitivity, improved spatial resolution and much
improved signal to noise ratio, enabling new applications for these systems in safety critical applications in
power generation, the oil & gas industry, plus the automotive and aerospace sectors.
