Abstract

Nanoparticles display exclusive spectroscopic, electronic, biomaterials and chemical properties that arise from
their smaller size and large specific surface area, which differ appreciably from those of bulk materials. Now
a days, the biomaterials are downsized to the nanoscale. Nanotechnology brings a revolutionary change in
biomaterials which may be used as new devices. In the present investigation, the bovine bones namely pelvis,
skull, backbone, rib, scapula, radius/ulna, humerus, tibia, femur, metatarsus and metacarpus are crushed into
fine nanoparticles. Specimens (pellets/discs) were prepared by applying pressure in hydraulic machine. Dielectric
properties (dielectric constant and dielectric loss) and electrical properties (conductivity and resistivity) were
measured for this pellets/discs as a function of temperature and frequency. In the present investigation, it is
observed that, when size of the particle decreases dielectric constant, dielectric loss and conductivity increase
and resistivity decrease. Using an inductance (L), capacitance (C), and resistance (R) (LCR) meter (pacific;
PLCR 8a) the dielectric constant and dielectric loss were measured.
