Abstract Piezoelectric materials produce electric charges on application of mechanical stress, or change their dimensions when subjected to an electric field. Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is a synthetic piezoceramic material with high piezoelectric properties. In aerospace PZT is used widely as sensors and actuators for vibration control of structures, health monitoring, development of smart aeroplane wings/morphing structures, energy harvesting and self-powering applications in micro aerial vehicles (MAVs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as precision fuel injectors in propulsion systems, etc. This chapter reviews the preparation of piezoceramic materials, e.g. PZT, PZT–PMN and PMN–PT, and the fabrication and characterization of multilayer (ML) stacked devices and their applications in aerospace.
