Lithium-hydroxyapatite (0,1, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt% Li-HAp) nano-composites were synthesized by sol-gel technique followed by microwave-hydrothermal treatment. The composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman techniques. Gamma attenuation co-efficient and the dielectric properties for all composites were investigated. The crystallinity degree of Li doped HAp was higher than that of un-doped HAp. Gamma attenuation coefficient values increased from 0.562 cm(-1) for 0 wt% Li-HAp to 2.190 cm(-1) for 40 wt% Li-HAp. The alternating current conductivity increased with increasing frequency. The concentration of Li affect the values of dielectric constant where Li doped HAp of low dielectric constant can have an advantage for healing in bone fractures. The calcium to phosphorus ratio decreased from 1.43 to 137 with the addition of lithium indicating the Ca deficiency in the studied composites. Our findings lead to the conclusion that Li-HAp is a new nano-composite useful for medical applications and could be doped with gamma shield materials. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
