Nano-size powders of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) were fabricated by a new milling coprecipitation method (MCP) improved from the conventional wet ball milling and precipitation. This method consists of slurry preparation from nanoparticles of TiO 2 with aqueous solution of ZrO(NO 3 ) 2 and Pb(NO 3 ) 2 with zirconia ball mill media, followed by precipitation with NH 4 OH as precipitant. Milling media (1mm and 3mm balls) improves the precipitation homogeneity during processing. Single-phase perovskite structure of PZT was formed at a calcination temperature of 500 • C and powders of 50 nm particle size were obtained. Powders were characterized using TG-DTA, SEM and XRD methods. Sintering ability of powders and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics were also investigated.
