Get this... one of the tin doped variants exhibits a *negative* young's modulus.... in other words it bends in the opposite direction of flexure, even diamond wont do that, and it is seriously piezo-electric...
Sooooo... what happens if BaTi03 is bound with an electo-dissapative like a graphite matrix ? Hmmmm... are microflexions then generating microcurrents that can be resistively drained ? Say, if diamond is present is will provide a hard substrate for BaTi03 to be compressed against, and is high purity graphite is included, the resulting piezo energy is then drained out ? What a truly fascinating and bizarre but logical idea.... like a physical substance that behaves like an active damping platform, but moldable and injectable, and environmentally friendly ? Off to see if they'll sell me a bottle of it...
