Establish Testing Procedures for Dielectric and Piezoelectric Materials
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to set up a laboratory with corresponding testing
equipment that would demonstrate the structure-property relationships of dielectric and
piezoelectric materials. The assigned project goals were to set up the lab, to demonstrate
these relationships and to design and document experiments to highlight these properties.
New laboratory equipment was purchased for the purpose of improving the existing
introductory lab class in the materials science department at Purdue University. This
equipment will enhance the learning process as it better demonstrates these relationships.
This paper discusses the structure-property relationships of dielectric and piezoelectric
materials.
