This paper is devoted to the study of scattering of plane harmonic waves by a piezoelectric sphere with spherical isotropy embedded in an unbounded isotropic polymer matrix. The scattered displacement field and the electric potential in the matrix are expressed in terms of spherical vector wave functions and spherical harmonic functions, respectively. For the field points inside the inhomogeneity, new displacement functions are introduced. Expansion of the new displacement functions and the electric potential in terms of spherical harmonic functions, the equations of motion and electrostatic lead to four second order ordinary differential equations (odes), where three of them are coupled. The coupled system of odes is solved by the generalized Frobenius series. This approach is readily used to handle low and high frequencies. Three different types of piezoelectric inhomogeneities, PZT-4, PZT-5H, and BaTiO3 are considered and the associated piezoelectric effects on the electro-mechanical fields, differential and total scattering cross-sections are addressed.
