The piezoelectric properties of ceramics with a high degree of 〈001〉 fiber texture were investigated for possible actuator applications. Piezoelectric coefficients in excess of 1200 pC/N associated with strain levels up to >0.3% were observed in samples prepared by a reactive templated grain growth process. No excess PbO was used in the starting composition. A high degree of fiber texture was achieved using 〈001〉 oriented template particles in a fine-grained precursor for the PMN–32PT matrix. High densities together with texture resulted in a significant increase in strain levels and values compared to their polycrystalline counterparts. Peak dielectric constants on the order of 22 000 with losses of ∼2% and well-saturated hysteresis loops with a were recorded on the textured samples. These domain engineered, textured ceramics have tremendous potential for high-performance actuators.
