摘要: This paper reports that the lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezoelectric composites incorporating zinc oxide nanowhiskers (ZnO$_{\rm w})$ were prepared by the conventional solid state processing. The whisker-dispersed PZT composites (PZT/ZnO$_{\rm w})$ presented a significant enhancement in the mechanical properties such as Young's modulus, tensile strength and compressive strength. Especially, the compressive strength increased from 153\,MPa for the PZT to 228\,MPa for the PZT/ZnO$_{\rm w}$ composites. The reinforcement mechanism in strength of the composites was discussed. The mechanical quality factors of the PZT/ZnO$_{\rm w }$ composites increased considerably, while the piezoelectric constants and electromechanical coupling coefficient decreased slightly. The composites with good electrical and excellent mechanical properties are promising for further applications.
