Piezoelectric composite components offer high frequency & fine pitch

Morgan’s piezoelectric composite materials drastically reduce the cross-coupling that typically occurs between different modes in the ceramic of conventional transducers, enabling medical components to respond in a more precise and predictable manner. Components manufactured by Morgan also reduce spurious activity,resulting in higher transmit and receive efficiency. These Piezo composite components also provide lower acoustic impedance and improved transducer bandwidth than conventional piezoelectric ceramics.

Morgan offers piezoelectric composites in both 1-3 and 2-2 orientations, in sizes up to 3-inch square and frequencies from 100 kHz to 12 MHz. To enhance transmit and receive response rates, piezoelectric volume fractions can be tailored for any application.

The Piezo composites can be thermoformed to conform to curved, complex geometric surfaces in shapes often not achievable with conventional piezoceramic materials, significantly increasing design flexibility. Morgan’s extensive materials portfolio allows further flexibility as components can be manufactured from standard or custom materials, including Navy types I, II, and VI.
