Piezoelectric materials characterized by consisting essentially of crosslinked polyphosphazenes obtained by bringing polyphosphazenes which have repeating structural units represented by the general formula [I]--NP(X)a (Y)b -- [I](all the symbols are as defined in the appended claims) into oriented state in an electric field provided by applying high voltage on them and then crosslinking them under such conditions.Piezoelectric materials thus obtained display an excellent piezoelectric effect and, in addition, rubber elasticity.
