“…Moreover, in general, the thickness of the inner sublayer is much less than the outer porous one. At the same time, due to such a morphological structure, the PEO layer can serve as a good basis for the creation of composite coatings (CC), which make it possible to impart new functional properties to the treated surface, as was presented in [ 3 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ]. In this case, the main promising approach is to fill the pores of the PEO coating with functional materials that have the necessary set of service characteristics.…”
