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 ...

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 ...

Have you ever wondered if the simple building blocks of life could one day power our wearable electronics? Glycine, the ...

Piezo-ceramic PZT fibres are drawn using a textile spinning method which produces fibres with standard diameters of 105 μm, 250 μm and 800 μm and with typical lengths of 75 and 150 mm. Piezo-composite ...

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 ...

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 ...

The increasing miniaturization and sophistication of electronic products, ranging from consumer media devices to medical diagnostic tools to defense-related sonar applications, presents a bounty of ...
