“…14 Certain dielectric materials have the peculiar feature of responding to mechanical stimuli by producing an electrical charge; this phenomenon is known as piezoelectricity. 15 Because of the reversibility of this process, mechanical deformation of materials may be caused by introducing an electric field. 16 The term "bio-piezoelectricity" is used to describe the prevalence of piezoelectric phenomena in many different types of living systems and molecules.…”

Animal waste, if not disposed of carefully, is a threat to the environment, as it may cause fouling and microorganism growth and can be a home for many diseases. Hence, proper waste management is required. One such abundantly found biowaste product is chicken bones, which are thrown into nature after the meat is consumed. However, this biowaste (chicken bone extract, CBE) can be utilized to make bioceramics in an efficient way without much labor and cost. Bioceramics made from natural sources such as chicken bones have chemical, physical, and biological similarities to the inorganic content of human bones and hence do not create any toxicity or harmful effects when used inside the human body. Bone, being a piezoelectric material, makes the healing of fractures faster (osteoconduction and osteoinduction) due to the electric field it generates. Hence, a piezoelectric device fabricated from natural CBE could be utilized for generating piezoelectricity to heal bones. The piezoelectric behavior of a CBE bioceramic material is studied for the first time by developing a device made via 3D printing. Piezoelectric studies were performed at various loads and tapping frequencies, and a maximum piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 ) of ∼68.7 pC/N and electromechanical coupling of 0.17 were obtained, which are suitable for piezoelectric energy-harvesting applications. Normally, the lifetime of piezoelectric devices is low, and their disposal and recycling may also create health hazards. However, the current device made out of degradable natural CBE poses no environmental threat after disposal. This novel process opens up new opportunities and directions to rethink alternatives for piezoelectric materials that are used for sustainable energy harvesting.

In recent years, smart materials have piqued the interest of scientists and physicians in the biomedical community owing to their ability to modify their properties in response to an external stimulation or changes in their surroundings. Biocompatible piezoelectric materials are an interesting group of smart materials due to their ability to produce electrical charges without an external power source. Electric signals produced by piezoelectric scaffolds can renew and regenerate tissues through special pathways like that found in the extracellular matrix. This review summarizes the piezoelectric phenomenon, piezoelectric effects generated within biological tissues, piezoelectric biomaterials, and their applications in tissue engineering and their use as biosensors.
