Lead titanate (PbTiO₃) is a ferroelectric ceramic compound belonging to the perovskite family, characterized by spontaneous electric polarization and strong piezoelectric coupling. It is primarily used in electromechanical transducers, sensors, and actuators where precise control of deformation or electrical response under stress is required; notable applications include ultrasonic devices, mechanical switches, and positioning systems. PbTiO₃ remains an important benchmark material in ferroelectric research and device development, though lead-free alternatives are increasingly preferred in new designs due to environmental and regulatory concerns.
