Application of electrophoretic and electrolytic deposition techniques in ceramics processing

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.
