Porous ceramics combine the advantages of both ceramics and porous materials. Due to
their excellent combination of properties, such as lightweight, high surface area, excellent …

We examined the microstructures of porous platy-alumina scaffolds freeze-cast over a
considerable range of freezing velocities (1.4–2600 µm s− 1) and platelet size of 4 and 8 …

Large-area and conformal piezoelectric elements are highly desired for acoustic transducers
to possess a large power source level and wide detecting range. To date, single-crystal …

Piezocomposite ultrasonic transducers (PUTs) are extensively used in diverse technological
fields, however, PUTs based on conventional 1–3 piezocomposite containing only one type …

Porous piezoelectric ceramics and composites are advantageous for ultrasonic transducers
due to their capability to decouple longitudinal and transverse modes, their improved …

This paper provides the first demonstration of additively manufactured swimming micro-
robots which combine a hydrophobic nanofibrillated cellulose aerogel, to provide long-term …

Porous BaTiO3‐based relaxor ferroelectric ceramics with lamellar structure were achieved
by ice templating method, and the rheological properties of ceramic slurry for freeze casting …

In acoustic engineering and architecture, materials called acoustic absorbers are widely
used. There are currently numerous options for such materials, and many more are being …

A Mori-Tanaka model of piezoelectric composites is used to study the effect of property
contrast between the components of a two-component composite. The composite comprises …

The performance of SOund NAvigation and Ranging (SONAR) is highly dependent on the
properties of piezo-ceramic transducers. This paper presents a unique lamellar porous …
