Piezoelectric PZT-polymer 1-3 and 1-3-0 composites were transversely reinforced with glass fibers to increase the hydrostatic piezoelectric coefficients for possible use in hydrophone applications. Modeling of these composites theoretically showed that the dhgh figure of merit is a function of the volume fractions of PZT rods, glass fibers, and polymer porosity, and of the Poisson's ratio and compliance of the polymer matrix. Experimental results showed significant enhancements of the dhgh figure of merit with the addition of glass fibers. Comparisons of the theoretical predictions and the experimental results were made.
