Abstract:
A novel method for the densification of sol-gel films is presented. After
elimination of organic decomposition products by heat-treatment at 350 °C and
450 °C, the films are isopressed prior to crystallisation at 550 °C.
Consequently, porous lead zirconate titanate films, ~0.7 um in thickness with
pore sizes of ~0.1 um could be transformed into dense 0.2 um fil
