This book offers extensive knowledge and characterization methods for Ultraviolet light curable piezoelectric 0-3 composites for researchers and industry. The book provides extensive research on the use of carbon-based conductive nanoparticles to improve the performance of Ultraviolet light curable piezoelectric composites, forming piezoelectric 0-0-3 composites. Materials researched include Barium Titanate (BTO), Sodium Potassium Niobate (KNN), Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNP), Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) and Graphene Oxide (GO). A comprehensive literature review on piezoelectric 0-3 composites focuses on the main influencing factors to achieve high piezoelectric composite performance. The method to characterize the performance of piezoelectric composites using 4-point bending is adopted from literature, is characterized, and adopted for performance measurements.

Über Autor(innen)

Rytis Mitkus, born in Lithuania in 1992, studied mechanical engineering at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH, former VGTU) where he got an interest in 3D printing. Further, by pursuing a double-degree master program in mechatronics in collaboration with Technische Universität Braunschweig, he finished his studies in Germany, where he started his doctorate with the idea to apply 3D printing for smart composite material manufacturing. By combining the knowledge of 3D printing, mechanics, and material science, he researched methods to improve manufacturability and performance of Ultraviolet (UV) light curable piezoelectric multi-phase composites. Rytis Mitkus attempts to transfer the knowledge acquired during the years at universities to a startup to help humanity proceed one step further in the field of advanced smart materials.
