The Electrophoretic Deposition of Inorganic Nanoscaled Materials-A Review-

Abstract

Electrophoretic deposition EPD is gaining increasing interest as a processing technique for production of novel inorganic nanostructured and nanoscale materials, including the use of nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanorods and related nanomaterials. Recent advances in the electrophoretic deposition of a great variety of ceramic and metallic nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes and other inorganic nanoscaled materials are discussed in this review. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate the utility of an applied electric field to manipulate and control the deposition of electrically charged nanoscaled particles and other nanostructures on solid surfaces from liquid suspensions. A wide range of applications has been reviewed, demonstrating the high versatility and suitability of the EPD technique as a convenient nanotechnology processing tool. Nano-enamels and structural coatings, electrodes and films for fuel cells, capacitors, sensors and other microelectronic devices, fibre-reinforced and graded ceramic composites, nanostructured films and coatings for electronic, biomedical, optical, catalytic and electrochemical applications are some of the examples discussed. The combination of sol-gel methods and EPD for production of a variety of nanomaterials is also reviewed.

Formation of Nanolayer on Surface of EPD Coatings Based on Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone

“…Moreover, it can be used both on a large scale, also when coating objects with a complex geometrical form, and on a small scale, to fabricate composite microand nanostructures. New application areas for EPD are the low-cost fabrication of composite Formation of Nanolayer on Surface of EPD Coatings Based on Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/67570 5 materials including advanced coatings based on nanocomposites, laminate structures and functional graded materials [10][11][12][13].…”

Electrophoretic Deposition, Microstructure, and Corrosion Resistance of Porous Sol–Gel Glass/Polyetheretherketone Coatings on the Ti-13Nb-13Zr Alloy

“…[15,16] EPD consists of the movement of charged particles suspended in liquid and deposition onto a conducting substrate under the influence of an externally applied electrical field. [17,18] The advantages of this method are high purity, easy control of the coating thickness, high coating uniformity, the possibility of using complex shaped substrates, and the short deposition time of coatings. [19,20] One of the popular materials with useful properties for a relatively strong porous coating matrix is polyetheretherketone (PEEK).…”

Ceramic Coatings Obtained by Electrophoretic Deposition: Fundamentals, Models, Post-Deposition Processes and Applications

“…A numbers of reviews reported extensively on the several applications of EPD as coatings and free standing objects, based on ceramics and metals (Sarkar & Nicholson, 1996;Van der Biest & Vandeperre, 1999;Boccaccini & Zhitomirsky, 2002;Boccaccini et al, 2003;Besra & Liu, 2007;Corni et al, 2008). Particularly successful is the use of EPD to produce porous, laminated and graded ceramic coatings (Hatton & Nicholson, 2001;Put et al, 2004;You et al, 2004) as well as fibres reinforced composites (Boccaccini et al, 1996(Boccaccini et al, ,1997Wang et al, 2000a;Freidrich et al, 2002;Kaya et al, 1999Kaya et al, , 2000Kaya et al, , 2001.…”
