CuO is doped into (Na(0.5)K(0.5))NbO(3) (NKN) ceramics to improve the piezoelectric properties and thus obtain a piezoelectric transformer (PT) with high output power. In X-ray diffraction patterns, the diffraction angles of the CuO-doped NKN ceramics shift to lower values because of an expansion of the lattice volume, thus inducing oxygen vacancies and enhancing the mechanical quality factor. A homogeneous microstructure is obtained when NKN is subjected to CuO doping, leading to improved electrical properties. PTs with different electrode areas are fabricated using the CuO-doped NKN ceramics. Considering the efficiency, voltage gain, and temperature rise of PTs at a load resistance of 1 kΩ, PTs with an electrode with an inner diameter of 15 mm are combined with the circuit design for driving a 13-W T5 fluorescent lamp. A temperature rise of 6°C and a total efficiency of 82.4% (PT and circuit) are obtained using the present PTs.

One of the recent challenges in the design/development of prosthetic orthopedic implants is to address the concern of local/systemic toxicity of debris particles, released due to wear or degradation. Such debris particles often lead to inflammation at the implanted site or aseptic loosening of the prosthesis which results in failure of the implant during long run. Several in vitro studies demonstrated the potentiality of piezoelectric sodium potassium niobate [NaKNbO (x = 0.

Bone remodeling processes involve endogenous bioelectrical signals such as piezoelectric charges. Moreover, external electrical stimulation helps in improving the healing capability of injured tissues by modulating the metabolic signaling pathways of cells. Towards this end, the present study reveals the influence of the combined action of electrostatic surface polarization charge and dynamic pulsed electrical stimulation alongwith compositional modification towards improving the osteogenic response of emerging piezo-bioceramics, sodium potassium niobate [NaKNbO (x = 0.

The bacterial contamination in implants has been recognized as one of the key issues in orthopedics. In this article, a new technique of electrical polarization of various non-piezoelectric and piezoelectric biocompatible ceramics has been explored to develop antibacterial implants. Optimally processed hydroxyapatite (HA), BaTiO (BT), CaTiO (CT), NaKNbO (NKN) and their composites have been used as model biomaterials to verify the concept.

Besides the excellent osteoconductivity and biocompatibility of 45S5 bioglass (BG), poor mechanical and electrical properties as well as susceptibility toward bacterial adhesion limit its widespread clinical applications. In this context, the present study investigates the effect of addition of piezoelectric sodium potassium niobate (NaKNbO; NKN) on mechanical, dielectric, and antibacterial response of BG. BG-NKN ( = 0, 10, 20, and 30 vol%) composites were synthesized at 800 °C for 30 min.
