Patent abstract

A piezoelectric device is produced by providing a material having a hydroxyapatite (HA) component. The HA component is textured by, for example uniaxial pressing, to impart one of the limiting symmetries ∞, ∞ mm, or ∞2. The textured material may then be poled to enhance the piezoelectric properties.
