titanate

Barium piezoelectric material

A titanate is a chemical compound containing titanium and oxygen, typically combined with a metal.

Titanates appear in ceramics, electronics, and industrial applications.

Barium titanate serves as a piezoelectric material; strontium titanate mimics diamond's brilliance.

The word follows the standard chemistry pattern for naming salts and esters of acids.
