Nanohydroxyapatite-carbon nanotube composite coatings were deposited via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). AISI 316L stainless steel and ethanol were used as substrate and dispersing medium, respectively. 5%wt carbon nanotube (CNT) was used as reinforcing phase. Uniform and macrocrack-free coatings were obtained both for hydroxyapatite (HA) and HA-5%wt CNT coatings. Scanning electron micros...

Nanohydroxyapatite-carbon nanotube Nanocomposite (HA-CNT) coatings were deposited via electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Hydroxyapatite was synthesized via microwave combustion method using calcium nitrate and glycing as starting materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed that pure hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have been synthesized. AISI 316L s...

Abstract In this study, multilayered Cu/HA/ZnS + PEEK coatings were fabricated using hybrid technology on Zr–2.5Nb alloy substrates. The use of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and heat treatment allowed the 1st base composite ZnS layer 2nd hydroxyapatite (HA) top to be obtained. EPD kinetics both layers was studied. Heating at a temperature 450 °C slow cooling resulted in densification sulfona...

This article presents the results of an experimental investigation designed to deposit chitosan/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and chitosan/h-BN/titania (TiO₂) composites on SS316L substrates using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) for potential antibacterial applications. The influence of EPD parameters (voltage and deposition time) and relative concentrations of chitosan, h-BN and TiO₂ in susp...

Carbon nanotube is one of the most attractive materials for the potential applications of nanotechnology due to its excellent mechanical, thermal, electrical and optical properties. In this paper we report a supercapacitor made of nickel foil electrodes, coated with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) thin film using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. Chemical vapor deposition method was ...

Abstract The objective of the present work was development cathodic electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to obtain composite coatings mesoporous sol–gel glass (MSGG) particles embedded in a zein matrix on Ti-13Nb-13Zr substrates. To deposit robust and repeatable coatings, direct current EPD pulsed as well kinetics were investigated, including yield rate. stability suspension determined based zeta p...

In this work the stability of TiN and TiC nanopowders in isopropyl alcohol as well as the fabrication of dense and well adhered thin coatings based on TiN and TiC by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) have been evaluated in terms of zeta potential and mass deposited when hydrazine is added. The surface of TiN and TiC nanoparticles has been modified to improve the dispersion in isopropyl alcohol a...

It is desirable to fabricate colorful coatings that have nonfading properties and are environmentally friendly. In this study, a novel approach for creating structural color coatings from monodisperse silica particles is presented. The structural color coating films, formed from an array of silica particles with a small amount of black additive, are easily prepared by a simple electrophoretic d...

Silicon dioxide films were prepared on p-type Si (100) substrates by sol electrophoretic deposition (EPD) using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) at low temperature. According to the variation of sol dipping conditions, we estimated the characteristics of SiO2 films, such as composition, surface morphology, wet etch rate, breakdown voltage, etc. The growth rate of the film increased linearly with ...

In this study, we investigated the effect of using large TiO2 nanoparticles in the matrix of small nanoparticles to improve the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), as light scatter to increase the light harvesting. The mixed powder was deposited by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on FTO (F-SnO2 coated glass). It is shown that adding small quantity of larger...
