The effect of the intrinsic electrical matrix conductivity on the piezoelectric charge constant of piezoelectric composites

Polymer-piezoceramic composites have drawn a lot of attention for sensor and energy harvesting applications. Poling such materials can be difficult due to the electric field getting mostly distributed over the low dielectric constant matrix. During this process, the electrical matrix conductivity pl...
