Abstract

Present work reports the results of a study of characterization of dielectric, piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties of calcium modified lead titanate ceramic/poly (vinylidene-trifluorethylene) composites with zero-three connectivity. The paper also presents a theoretical model to optimize such properties with respect to particle size, dielectric constant and composition.
