Application of electrophoretic and electrolytic deposition techniques in ceramics processing* - Part 1

Electrodeposition is gaining increasing interest as a ceramic processing technique for a variety of technical applications. Major advances in the areas of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and electrolytic deposition (ELD) achieved in the last 24 months include the fabrication of electrodes and films for solid oxide fuel cells, fibre-reinforced and graded ceramic composites, nanostructured materials as well as a variety of advanced films and coatings for electronic, biomedical, optical, catalytic and electrochemical applications.
