Abstract :
Bone is now a well established piezoelectric material. A systematic and detailed study has been carried out to investigate this property in the bone by using in vitro and in vivo samples in the laboratory. Conventional ceramic processing technique is utilized to develop transducer elements from the bone material. Different types of micro-sensors developed for various biomedical applications, are described
