Abstract
For future sonar transducer applications that emphasize the detection of acoustical signals in a hydrostatic mode, new piezoelectric composite materials have been developed. Ceramic-polymer composites having `1-3´ and `0-3´ connectivity patterns are shown to exhibit much higher sensitivities than conventional PZT ceramics. Glass-ceramic composites are free of aging and have potential applications in standard transducers
