Piezoelectric materials produce electric charges on their surfaces as a consequence of applying mechanical stress. They are used in the fabrication of a growing range of devices such as transducers, actuators, pressure sensor devices and increasingly as a way of producing energy. This book provides a comprehensive review of advanced piezoelectric materials, their properties, methods of manufacture and applications. It covers lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezo-ceramics, relaxor ferroelectric ceramics, lead-free piezo-ceramics, quartz-based piezoelectric materials, the use of lithium niobate and lithium in piezoelectrics, single crystal piezoelectric materials, electroactive polymers (EAP) and piezoelectric composite materials.

Key Features: provides a comprehensive review of the new materials, their properties and methods of manufacture and application; explores the development of piezoelectric materials from the historical background to the present status; features an overview of manufacturing methods for piezoelectric ceramic materials including design considerations.
