Individual project on Energy harvesting using piezoelectric material

[Kajan thana]

TL;DR

I am required to fabricate a cantilever with piezoelectric material attached to the surface in order to harvest energy - bimorph and unimorph. The piezoelectric material I will be using is PZT - 5H.

I have two questions:
1) Is it possible to cut the material with a laser cutter or scissors or do I need to have a specific tool?
2) What is the best way to attach the PZT-5H material to the beam but it can be easily detached for using it on another beam ( so no epoxy glue)?Thank you

Thanks for sharing. That is a fun paper to read.

Scissors cut paper, ceramic blunts scissors, that paper wraps ceramic.
The only technique I could think of for cutting bulk heat sensitive ceramic material would be an abrasive waterjet.
