Surface modification and cathodic electrophoretic deposition of ceramic materials and composites using celestine blue dye

A new method has been developed for the surface modification of inorganic particles, which allowed their efficient electrostatic dispersion and cathodic electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The approach is based on the use of cationic celestine blue (CB) dye as a charging and dispersing agent. The key advantages of this approach are related to its applicability to different materials and strong adsorption of CB to the inorganic surfaces, which is …
