| Introduction to Piezo |
| |
| 01.09.2009 |
This industrial training from the Piezo Institute provides a one day introduction to piezoelectric materials and technologies.
Topics include:
• History of piezo technologies
• Piezo physics and chemistry
• Introduction to piezo materials
• Environmental issues and lead-free materials
• Piezo processing and manufacture
This introductory course is designed for anyone who regularly uses piezoelectric materials in their business, thinks they might benefit from the adoption of piezo in their products, or wants to appreciate the potential of piezo for future product development.
It is designed to give scientists and technologists a working knowledge of piezo materials and devices. Delegates will develop a basic understanding of how piezo properties are measured and will take back to their
workplace a set of real industrial applications for piezo materials and devices.

|
| Focus on transport |
|
 The transport industry will continue to benefit from piezoelectric technologies. The automotive industry requires sensors to measure engine performance and ensure passenger safety. Piezoelectric materials are the basic component of these sensors, in particular accelerometers and infra-red detectors. |
|
|
| Focus on healthcare |
|
 Scientific innovation from a multidisciplinary Piezo Institute research collaboration has produced high-performance thin film piezoelectric transducers for specialist medical applications. |
