3D Printing and processing of miniaturized transducers with near-pristine piezoelectric ceramics for localized cavitation

Abstract The performance of ultrasonic transducers is largely determined by the piezoelectric properties and geometries of their active elements. Due to the brittle nature of piezoceramics, existing processing tools for piezoelectric elements only achieve simple geometries, including flat disks, cyl...
