Viscosity, electrical conductivity and deposit weight were determined for Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) Mg2+-, Y3+-, La3+- and Ce4+-doped alumina's ethanolic suspensions prepared at dopant concentration between 350 to 1350 ppm. The concentration of XCly (X, y were: Mg, 2; Y, 3; Ce, 3 and La, 3, respectively) the charging salt, is also found to be a critical factor to control the viscosity. I...

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is proven as a scalable method for surface treatment of titanium (Ti) providing thick oxide layer with porous micro-nano morphology. Despite the lack antibacterial performance, this modification has potential to improve osseointegration properties Ti-based implant. To address limitation, we demonstrated new concept, showing that partial incorporation graphene...

Electronic paper (e-paper), an electronic replacement for white paper that attempts to copy its properties as closely as possible, is available since about three decades. Research efforts in this area have created several different technological approaches to the issue, one of its most promising being electrophoretic displays (EPDs). Due to their extraordinary properties, they have the potentia...

Thick electrophoretically deposited (EPD) films of ligand-capped colloidal nanocrystals that adhere to the substrate typically crack after they are removed from the deposition solvent due to the loss of residual solvent. We report the suppression of fracture in several micrometers thick EPD films of CdSe nanocrystals by treating the wet, as-deposited films with solutions containing the NC core-...

In the present study, electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method in different electric fields (30 – 300 V / cm) was used to apply Co3O4 spinel coating to SUS 430 as SOFC interconnect. The coated and uncoated specimens were pre-sintered in air at 800 and 900 °C for 3 h followed by cyclic oxidation at 700 and 800 °C for 500 h, respectively. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Scanning Electron Microsc...

In the present study, Mn - Cr spinel powder was synthesized through a solid state reaction. In the next step, the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method was used to apply the MnCr2O4 spinel, as an oxidation-resistant layer, on SUS 430 stainless steel in a potential of 300 V/cm. The coated and uncoated samples were then pre-sintered in air at 900 °C for 3 h followed by cyclic oxidation at 800 °...

Micro-electrode arrays (MEAs) and micro-electrodes are used in a variety of medical applications for recording action potentials or stimulating neurons. To have an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, the contact between the neuronal tissue and the micro-electrodes must be very close. Therefore, a flexible MEA with a large number of electrodes on a large area is necessary. In this work, a flexible ...

The colloidal dispersion in a nonpolar medium is an essential material for electrophoretic displays (EPD) with low-power consumption. A uniform-sized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) promising candidate EPD, which exhibits tunable structural color by Bragg diffraction. In this study, the surface of SPION charged inverse micelles Solsperse-17k, oil-soluble polymeric surfactant. ...

Research has demonstrated that triiodothyronine and thyroxin are correlated with marbling (MARB) deposition in Wagyu cattle. Polymorphisms in the 5' region of the thyroglobulin gene have been associated with an improvement in overall fattening and could be used as a gene marker for MARB. The commercially available GeneSTAR MARB test measures the specific thyroglobulin gene polymorphism and iden...
