Hybrid Materials for Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting and Conversion

This book details and discusses various piezoelectric materials and hybrid piezoelectric materials in a systematic way. It covers the fundamentals, structural requirements, and applications of piezoelectric materials and hybrid piezoelectric materials. The book goes into the different polymers and fillers used to enhance the resultant piezoelectric energy harvesting efficiency of the piezoelectric energy harvesters and the different piezoelectric polymers and piezoelectric ceramics, various conductive (CNT, Ag, and so on) and semi-conductive (ZnO, MoS2, and so on) materials used in combination to improve the energy harvesting efficiency.

The book is split into three parts; part 1 details inorganic and organic hybrid piezoelectric materials; part 2 covers biomaterial based hybrid piezoelectric materials; part 3 presents conclusions and future prospects.

The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any access cards, study guides, lab manuals, CDs, etc.

The Used, Rental and eBook copies of this book are not guaranteed to include any supplemental materials. Typically, only the book itself is included. This is true even if the title states it includes any access cards, study guides, lab manuals, CDs, etc.
