FABRICATION OF PIEZOELECTRIC CERAMlClPOLYMER COMPOSITES BY INJECTION MOLDING Leslie J Bowen and Kenneth W French Materials Systems Inc 53 Hillcrest Road Concord MA 01742 Abstract Research at the Materials Research Laboratory Pennsylvania State University has demonstrated the potential for improving hydrophone performance using piezoelectric ceramic polymer composites As part of an ONR funded initiative to develop cost effective manufacturing technology for these composites Materials Systems is pursuing an injection molding ceramic fabrication approach This paper briefly overviews key features of the ceramic injection molding process then describes the approach and methodology being used to fabricate PZT ceramic polymer composites Properties and applications of injection molded PZT ceramics are compared with conventionally processed material Introduction Piezoelectric ceramic polymer composites offer design versatility and performance advantages over both single phase ceramic and polymer piezoelectric materials in both sensing and actuating applications These composites have found use in high resolution medical ultrasound as well as developmental Navy applications Many composite configurations have been constructed and evaluated on a laboratory scale over the past thirteen years One of the most successful combinations designated 1 3 composite in Newnham s notation l 1 has a one dimensionally connected ceramic phase PZT fibers contained within a three dimensionally connected organic polymer phase Hydrophone figures of merit for this composite can be made over 10 000 times greater than those of solid PZT ceramic by appropriately selecting the phase characteristics and composite structure The Penn State composites were fabricated l by hand aligning extruded PZT ceramic rods in a jig and encapsulating in epoxy resin followed by slicing to the appropriate thickness and poling the ceramic Aside from demonstrating the performance advantages of this material the Penn State work highlighted the difficulties involved in fabricating 1 3 composites on a large scale or even for prototype purposes These are 11 The requirement to align and support large numbers of PZT fibers during encapsulation by the polymer 2 The high incidence of dielectric breakdown during poling arising from the significant probability of encountering one or more defective fibers in a typical large array Over the past five years several attempts have been made to simplify the assembly process for 1 3 transducers with the intention of improving manufacturing viability and lowering the material cost Early attempts involved dicing solid blocks of PZT ceramic into the desired configuration and back filling the spaces with a polymer phase This technique has found wide acceptance in the medical ultrasound industry for manufacturing high frequency transducers 2 More recently Fiber Materials Corp has demonstrated the applicability of its weaving technology for fiber reinforced composites to the assembly of piezoelectric composites 31 Another exploratory technique involves replicating porous fabrics having the appropriate connectivity 41 For extremely fine scale composites fibers having diameters in the order of 25 to 100 pn and aspect ratios in excess of five are required to meet device performance objectives As a result these difficulties are compounded by the additional challenge of forming and handling extremely fine fibers in large quantities without defects Recently researchers at Siemens Corp have shown that very fine scale composites can be produced by a fugitive mold technique However this method requires fabricating a new mold for every part 51 This paper describes a new approach to piezoelectric composite fabrication viz Ceramic injection molding Ceramic injection molding is a cost effective fabrication approach for both Navy piezoelectric ceramic polymer composites and for the fabrication of ultrafine scale piezoelectric composites such as those required for high frequency medical ultrasound and nondestructive evaluation The injection molding process overcomes the difficulty of assembling oriented ceramic fibers into composite transducers by net shape preforming ceramic fiber arrays Aside from this advantage the process makes possible the construction of composite transducers having more complex ceramic element geometries than those previously envisioned leading to greater design flexibility for improved acoustic impedance matching and lateral mode cancellation Process Descriotion Injection molding is widely used in the plastics industry as a means for rapid mass production of complex shapes at low cost Its application to ceramics has been most successful for small cross section shapes e g thread guides and large complex shapes which do not require sintering to high density such as turbine blade casting inserts More recently the process has been investigated as a production technology for heat engine turbine components 6 71 The injection molding process used for PZT molding is shown schematically in Figure 1 By injecting a hot thermoplastic mixture of ceramic powder and organic binder into a cooled mold complex shapes can be formed with the ease and rapidity normally associated with plastics molding Precautions such as hard facing the metal contact surfaces are important to minimize metallic contamination from the compounding and molding machinery For ceramics the binder must be removed nondestructively necessitating high solids loading careful control of the binder removal Powder Process

binder is removed the subsequent firing poling and epoxy encapsulation processes are similar to those used for conventional PZTipolymer composites 11 I Thus the process offers the following advantages over alternative fabrication routes Complex near net shape capability for handling many fibers simultaneously rapid throughput typically seconds per part compatibility with statistical process control low material waste flexibility with respect to transducer design allows variation in PZT element spacing and shape and low cost in moderate to high volumes In general because of the high initial tooling cost the ceramics injection molding process is best applied to complex shaped components which require low cost in high volumes Comoosite Fabrication and Evaluation The approach taken to fabricate 1 3 piezoelectric composites is shown in Figure 2a which illustrates a PZT ceramic preform concept in which fiber positioning is achieved using a co molded integral ceramic base After polymer encapsulation the ceramic base is removed by grinding Aside from easlng the handling of many fibers this preform approach allows broad latitude in the selection of piezoelectric ceramic element geometry for composite performance optimization Tool design is important for successful injection molding of piezoelectric composites The approach shown in Figure 2b uses shaped tool inserts to allow changes in part design without incurring excessive retooling costs Figure 2c shows how individual preforms are configured to form larger arrays Figure 2a Preform Configuration Approx 400 ceramic elements REMOVABLE INSERT CAVITY TOOL BODY U SPRUE Figure 2b Injection Molding Tool Configuration Figure 2c Large Area Composite Arrays made from Preforms Figure 2 Preform Approach to Composite Fabrication In practice material and molding parameters must be optimized and integrated with injection molding tool design to realize intact preform ejection after molding Key parameters include PZT binder ratio PZT element diameter and taper PZT base thickness tool surface finish and the molded part ejection mechanism design In order to evaluate these process parameters without incurring excessive tool cost a tool design having only two rows of 19 PZT elements each has been adopted for experimental purposes Each row contains elements having three taper angles 0 1 and 2 degrees and two diameters 0 5 and lmm To accommodate molding shrinkage the size of the preform is maintained at 5Ox50mm to minimize the possibility of shearing off the outermost fibers during the cooling portion of the molding cycle Figure 3 Injection Molded 1 3 Composite Preforms 161 Figure 3 shows green ceramic preforms fabricated using this tool configuration Note that all of the PZT elements ejected intact after molding including those having no longitudinal tapering to facilitate ejection Slow heating in air has been found to be a suitable method for organic binder removal Finally the burned out preforms are sintered in a PbO rich atmosphere to 97 98 of the theoretical density No problems have been encountered with controlling the weight loss during sintering of these composite preforms even for those fine scale high surface area preforms which are intended for high frequency ultrasound L Figure 4 Scanning Electron Micrographs of As molded Upper and As sintered Lower Surfaces of PZT Fibers Figure 4 illustrates the surfaces of as molded and as sintered fibers showing the presence of shallow fold lines approximately 10pm wide which are characteristic of the injection molding process The fibers exhibit minor grooving along their length due to ejection from the tool Figure 5 shows the capability of near net shape molding for fabricating very fine scale preforms PZT element dimensions only 30pm wide have been demonstrated The as sintered surface of these elements indicates that the PZT ceramic microstructure is dense and uniform consisting of equiaxed grains 2 3pm in diameter Figure 5 Fine scale 2 2 Composite formed by Near Net shape Molding Upper Micrograph As sintered Surface Lower Micrograph In order to demonstrate the lay up approach for composite fabrication composites of approximately 10 volume percent PZT 5H fibers and Spurrs epoxy resin were fabricated by epoxy encapsulating laid up pairs of injection molded and sintered fiber rows followed by grinding away the PZT ceramic stock used to mold the composite preform Figure 6 shows composite samples made from freshly compounded PZT binder mixture and from reused material Recycling of the compounded and molded material appears to be entirely feasible and results in greatly enhanced material utilization Table 1 compares the piezoelectric and dielectric properties of injection molded PZT ceramic specimens with those reported for pressed PZT 5H samples prepared by the powder manufacturer When the sintering conditions are optimized for the PZT 5H formulation the piezoelectric and dielectric properties are comparable for both materials Since the donor doped PZT 5H formulation is expected to be particularly sensitive to iron contamination from the injection molding equipment the implication of these measurements is that such contamination is negligible in this injection molded PZT material Powder supplied by Morgan Matroc Inc Bedford Ohio Lot 105A 162

shown to be a viable process for fabricating both PZT ceramics and piezoelectric ceramic polymer transducers The electrical properties of injection molded PZT ceramics are comparable with those prepared by conventional powder pressing with no evidence of deleterious effects from metallic contamination arising from contact with the compounding and molding equipment By using ceramic injection molding to fabricate composite preforms and then laying up the preforms to form larger composite arrays an approach has been demonstrated for net shape manufacturing of piezoelectric composite
