| dc.description.abstract | Centrifugal bio-freeze casting, (CBFC), is a revolutionary new technique for the production of near net shape piezoelectric components. CBFC exploits the unique ability of Pseudomonas syringae bacteria to promote ice formation near 0°C. By combining water, bacteria and Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 in a centrifuge, it is possible to produce dense near net shape green bodies which later undergo vacuum-assisted dehydration and sintering. CBFC is an environmentally favorable process which avoids the use of binders to make complex piezoelectric components for a variety of applications. The economic viability and simplicity of CBFC makes it attractive on an industrial level. | en_US |
