Surface modification and electrophoretic deposition of materials using carboxyalkylphosphonic acids

Bipolar carboxyalkylphosphonic acid molecules were investigated for dispersion and charging of inorganic particles in ethanol and film formation by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The analysis of deposition yield for different molecules and FTIR data provided an insight into the influence of interactions of the molecules with different surface metal atoms on adsorption of the molecules, particle dispersion and charge. The dispersant molecules …
