Research abstract
This proposal is for the development of a low-cost, flexible manufacturing technique to produce textured piezoelectric ceramics for undersea sensor applications. Current manufacturing techniques used to produce highly textured ceramics are expensive and complex--involving the tape casting technique to properly align the material seed crystals. Additive manufacturing is proposed as a method to improve the cost-effectiveness, Manufacturing Readiness Level and scalability of grain alignment in ceramics. The solution presented offers a method for SLA printing of aligned ceramic piezoelectric platelets in photopolymerizable resin.
