Abstract
This chapter discusses materials known as electroactive composites. These are mixtures of an electroactive (or in the present context, ferroelectric) ceramic phase and a polymer phase. Early sections will look at the individual phases, making use of piezoelectric parameters defined in Chapter 5. A summary of theoretical models will then be given, before preparation and characterization are discussed. Finally, the problems associated with producing an active device and examples of working systems will be considered.
