Piezoelectric materials have emerged as central to modern energy harvesting strategies, offering a direct means to convert mechanical stress or vibration into electrical energy. This ability is ...

Fracture mechanics in piezoelectric materials is an evolving field that merges the principles of mechanical failure with the distinct electromechanical properties of piezoelectric systems. These ...

Piezoelectric materials hold great promise as sensors and as energy harvesters but are normally much less effective at high temperatures, limiting their use in environments such as engines or space ...

Heat and pressure can deteriorate the properties of piezoelectric materials that make state-of-the-art ultrasound and sonar technologies possible -- and fixing that damage has historically required ...

Rather than delivering large amounts of power, the real significance of piezoelectric technology lies in its ability to ...

Since the EU enacted the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive (RoHS) several years ago, which bans several substances in electronics that are deemed hazardous, lead has become a material non ...

Polymer-based piezoelectric materials are currently the object of great interest in the world of industry because they enable their use in new applications in sectors such as transport and aeronautics ...

Piezoelectricity is a property of certain materials to become electrically polarized under strain and stress. This phenomenon has been studied extensively since it was first discovered in the mid-18 ...

Noliac is one of the only companies in the world capable of manufacturing multilayer piezoelectric components based upon a choice of different materials, each having optimised properties for specific ...

Researchers have successfully regenerated damaged skull bones in mice by creating a freestanding, biomimetic scaffold that combines a piezoelectric framework and the growth-promoting properties of a ...
