Piezoelectric composites are emerging as an increasingly important class of multifunctional materials, with potential applications ranging from sensors and structural monitoring to wearable technologies and vibration energy harvesting.
Published by Elsevier, Piezoelectric Composite Materials: Theory, Design, and Applications provides an overview of recent advances in the field, covering theoretical principles, practical design, applications, future challenges and circular-economy considerations.
By combining different material phases, piezoelectric composites can convert mechanical deformation into an electrical response and vice versa, creating opportunities for sensors, actuators, Structural Health Monitoring and energy-harvesting systems.
Their development reflects a broader trend towards multifunctional composite structures capable of performing additional functions beyond their conventional mechanical role.
