Abstract
The current state-of-the-art in the architecture, fabrication, and properties of piezoelectric active fiber composites (AFCs) is reviewed. AFCs offer unique advantages relative to monolithic piezoceramics, which are characterized by orthotropic piezoelectric response and conformable, robust, and large area sensing and actuation capability. New directions in AFC development and applications will be discussed, including the use of single-crystal piezoelectric fibers to dramatically enhance actuation performance
