AC electrophoretic deposition of organic–inorganic composite coatings

Electrophoretic deposition of nanoscale TiO2: technology and applications

“…In order to overcome the problems arising from water decomposition, different approaches have been followed, such as the employment of pulsed current (or voltage) EPD or alternating current EPD (AC-EPD). The advantages of these methods have been previously summarized in different papers by Neirinck et al [38], Ammam [34], Chávez-Valdez and Boccaccini [36] Yoshioka et al [39] and Besra et al [40].…”

Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD): Fundamentals and Applications from Nano- to Micro-Scale Structures

“…HA (Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ) is a crystalline mineral that has very similar chemical composition to bone and teeth tissue and as it has excellent biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and bioactivity; it is widely used as hip replacements and dental implants [63][64][65]127]. Processing HA via a powder route has many difficulties, for example, sintering must be done at relatively high temperatures, which may sacrifice the biocompatibility and decompose the favorable HA structure [66].…”

“…The deposited particles form the intended material or device [1]. Both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electrical fields have been applied in EPD process, although DC fields are more common [1][2][3]. Highly versatile application, simple apparatus and equipment, short processing time, cost effectiveness, facile modification, desirable dense packing of particles in the final piece, high quality of the microstructures produced, easy production of geometrically complicated shapes and simple control of the thickness and morphology have made EPD an interesting technique both in academia and industry [1,4].…”

Electrophoretic Coating of Octahedral Molybdenum Metal Clusters for UV/NIR Light Screening

“…For example, the PLD process is a versatile coating technique to fabricate thickness and nanostructure-controlled films with less contamination on a substrate [16,17]. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is also a promising room temperature process which exhibits the capability to coat thin/thick films in ambient atmosphere on complex-shaped substrates such as tube, sphere and wire netting [18] and the applicability to any suspensions containing charged particles, i.e., conductive polymers [19], organic, inorganic, or organic-inorganic composites [20,21]. The effective application of the EPD process has been extensively studied for the fabrication of traditional ceramic materials for a long time [22,23].…”
