Piezoelectric ceramics are relatively common materials that can convert mechanical energy and electrical energy into each other. They are widely used in our life in electroacoustic devices, communication, navigation, precision measurement and ultrasonic energy conversion. Its texture is hard and brittle, its processability is not very good, and its use is limited. If piezoelectric ceramics are made into flexible piezoelectric composites by compounding with flexible matrices to improve mechanical properties, they can be applied to wearable and flexible devices. This paper briefly introduces the basic principle of the piezoelectric effect, introduces the preparation methods of three typical flexible piezoelectric composites and their dielectric, piezoelectric and mechanical properties, introduces the recent research work and the latest scientific research achievements of relevant teams, summarizes the research progress of flexible piezoelectric materials, and provides ideas for finding flexible piezoelectric composites that have good dielectric, piezoelectric and mechanical properties.
