Resumen:
The aim of this work is to determine the effect of lithium or magnesium addition on the microstructure of hydroxyapatite ceramics sintered at 1200 °C. The samples were characterised by density measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Vickers microhardness. Dielectric properties, dc-conductivity and microhardness were related to the microstructures developed by the sintered materials. Furthermore, significant effects due to the presence of Li+ or Mg2+ in these ceramics were established.
