The microstructural evolution of sol-gel derived PZT-fibers is strongly dependent on the atmosphere and the T/t-schedule of drying, pyrolysis and sintering. The PbO-partial pressure during sintering plays a key role for grain growth and densification of the PZT-fibers. Fiber density, grain size and the fiber load in the polymer matrix affect the dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the 1-3 composite.
