In the past 4 decades, many articles have reported on effects of piezoelectric effect bone formation and research progress biomaterials in orthopedics. The purpose this study is to comprehensively evaluate all existing latest developments field piezoelectricity, explore potential directions area. To assess overall trend over 40 years, collected literature reviews using a retrieval program, appl...

The search for improved piezoelectric materials is based on the morphotropic phase boundaries (MPB) between ferroelectric phases with different crystal symmetry and available directions for the spontaneous polarization. Such regions of the composition x - T phase diagrams provide the conditions for minimal anisotropy with respect to the direction of the polarization, so that the polarization ca...

We have studied the effect of oxygen plasma treatment on piezoelectric response and on the mechanical stability of ZnO nanorods synthesized on FTO by using ACG method. XRD and SEM techniques have shown highly dense and uniformly distributed nanorods. The piezoelectric properties and mechanical stability of as-grown and oxygen plasma treated samples were investigated by using nanoindentation tec...

This paper investigates the buckling behavior of piezoelectric nanowires under distributed transverse loading, within the framework of the Timoshenko beam theory, and in the presence of surface effects. Analytical relations are given for the critical force of axial buckling of nanowires by accounting for the effects of surface elasticity, residual surface tension, and transverse shear deformati...

There is an increasing effort to utilize piezoelectric materials as a self-powered platform electrically stimulate cells/tissues in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications. Poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) holds great potential for biological applications due its biodegradability, especially nanofibrous form prepared by electrospinning. However, the mechanism underlying realization ...
