Pb(Ni 1/3 Nb 2/3 ) 0.72 Ti 0.28 O 3 (PNNT) perovskite ceramics produced by a reaction-sintering process were investigated. Without any calcination, the mixture of PbO, Ni(NO 3 ) 2 , Nb 2 O 5 and TiO 2 was pressed and sintered directly into PNNT ceramics. PNNT ceramics of 100% perovskite phase were obtained. For PNNT sintered for 2 h in PbO compensated atmosphere, maximum density reaches a value 8.49 g/cm 3 (99.8% of the theoretical value) at 1250 • C. A maximum dielectric constant 20600 occurred around 37 • C at 1 kHz in PNNT sintered at 1250 • C for 2 h.
