In addition to RF filters, piezoelectric thin films are used for many other components in microelectronics, whether as sensors, actuators or tiny energy converters.

What Are Piezoelectric Crystals And How Do They Work? We’ve found a lot of ways to make use of this strange property of certain crystals, but the most important effects were here long before us.

Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. In a recent ...

Piezoelectric materials generate an electrical charge when subjected to mechanical stress.1 This unique property, present in both natural and synthetic piezoelectric materials, has applications in ...

Micro-porous PU-PZT composite is a recently designed piezoelectric particulate composite material with an improved flexibility and piezoelectric voltage coefficient over common piezoelectric ceramics ...

Self powered hand handled biomedical instruments are of demand in industries. Piezoelectric energy harvester is one of the most efficient energy harvesters now in use to harvest electrical energy from ...

Researchers have found a new method to induce the piezoelectric effect in materials that are otherwise not piezoelectric. It can pave the way for new uses and more environmentally friendly materials.

Conclusion We briefly discussed how a piezoelectric micropump can be efficiently simulated with reasonable simplifications and how the the COMSOL Multiphysics software make such simulations easy to ...
