Abstract

Piezoelectric composites using 􀏐lexible elastomers have received considerable attention

in recent years due to their robust performance in terms of high strain sensitivity, mechanical

strength, thermal stability, and adjustable viscoelastic behavior under extreme conditions. In this

study, the electromechanical characteristics of the elastomer/BaTiO3 composite were investigated

for the generation of induced-vibration energy. The developed composites showed promising

􀏐lexibility and electrical output under mechanical stress. The addition of 15 wt.% BaTiO3

signi􀏐icantly increased the composite's electrical output compared to the pure elastomer.
