The present work aims to obtain Hydroxyapatite (HA) ‐ Barium Titanate (BT) piezocomposites with improved electrical properties by retaining OH − ions and tuning BT grain size. Dense piezocomposites of HA‐BT were obtained, using single step Spark Plasma Sintering. The presence of OH − ions in the sintered piezocomposites of HA ‐ BT was confirmed by thermal characterization and Fourier transform infrared transmittance. No decomposition/interaction between HA and BT phases were observed in the complete range of temperature studied. The dielectric and pyroelectric properties were studied as a function of temperature (100 K to 450 K) and frequency (100 Hz to 2 MH z). The influence of the ferroelectric grain size (300 and 500 nm) on the electrical properties of HA ‐ BT has been analyzed. The dielectric permittivity of HA‐BT ceramics can be enhanced with appropriate ferroelectric grain size and volume fraction of BT (<80%).
