Studying the electrical, mechanical, and biological properties of BCZT-HA composites.

The piezoelectric properties of natural bone and their influence on bone growth have inspired researchers to study a range of bio-piezoelectric composite materials. By exploring these materials, researchers aim to understand better, how piezoelectricity can be controlled to promote bone growth and tissue regeneration. In this work, the prominent piezoelectric material, (Ba, Zr) TiO -x(Ba,Ca)TiO , abbreviated as BCZT, was selected as a possible bone growth enhancer in hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds.
