  • Piezoelectric article with dielectric layer and co-planar electrodes
    Patent number: 10763421
    Abstract: A composite article has 1) a dry piezoelectric layer comprising a piezoelectric material, 2) a dry dielectric layer arranged contiguously with at least one of the opposing surfaces of the dry piezoelectric layer, and 3) a pair of non-electrically-connected co-planar patterned electrodes. The dry dielectric layer has essentially (a?) a dielectric material; and (b) particles having a Young's modulus that is different from the Young's modulus of the (a?) dielectric material by at least 10%.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 1, 2020
    Assignee: EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY
    Inventors: Roberta Dileo Benedict, Kurt D. Sieber, J. Lanny Tucker
  • Composite article with co-planar electrodes
    Patent number: 10763422
    Abstract: A composite article has 1) a dry piezoelectric layer, and 2) a pair of non-electrically-connected co-planar patterned electrodes that are arranged contiguously with an opposing surface of the dry piezoelectric layer. Each electrode essentially has (a) an electrically-conductive material; and (b) particles having a Young's modulus that is different from the Young's modulus of the (a) electrically-conductive material by at least 10%.
