Abstract
A poorly crystallized apatite is prepared by coprecipitation at room temper ature and dried by lyophilization. The electrical properties, in terms of i onic conductivity, improve after a second compression of the sample under 1 5 t/cm(2). Characterization by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and conductivity spectra show that this improved conductivity following the co mpression processing could be related to the establishment of order within the apatitic network.
