Sumario:Ferroelectric materials (FEMs), possessing piezoelectric, pyroelectric, inverse piezoelectric, nonlinear optic, ferroelectric‐photovoltaic, and many other properties, are attracting increasing attention in the field of biomedicine in recent years. Because of their versatile ability of interacting with force, heat, electricity, and light to generate electrical, mechanical, and optical signals, FEMs are demonstrating their unique advantages for biosensing, acoustics tweezer, bioimaging, therapeutics, tissue engineering, as well as stimulating biological functions. This review summarizes the current‐available FEMs and their state‐of‐the‐art fabrication techniques, as well as provides an overview of FEMs‐based applications in the field of biomedicine. Challenges and prospects for future development of FEMs for biomedical applications are also outlined.
