Which mechanism impairs efficient piezoelectricity in polycrystalline ceramics?

💡 Explanation

Random crystal grain orientations impede piezoelectricity because domain alignment becomes disordered, therefore reducing macroscopic polarization, rather than facilitating it because uniform boundaries or acoustic propagation enhancements would aid polarization.
