ELECTROPHORETIC DEPOSITION OF ZIRCONIA ON ALUMINA FOR MOLTEN SALT APPLICATIONS

Specific heat capacity of molten salt-based alumina nanofluid

There is no consensus on the effect of nanoparticle (NP) addition on the specific heat capacity (SHC) of fluids. In addition, the predictions from the existing model have a large discrepancy from the measured SHCs in nanofluids. We show that the SHC of the molten salt-based alumina nanofluid decreases with reducing particle size and increasing particle concentration. The NP size-dependent SHC i...

Electrophoretic Deposition of Hydroxyapatite

     The purpose of this study was to investigate the deposition of the hydroxyapatite (HA) coating via the electrophoresis procedure. The HA deposition was performed in an ethanol, methanol, acetone and isopropanol suspension. Methanol was found to be the best deposition media. Among the different environmental conditions, including the encapsulation of the samples under two vacuum types of pr...

Electrophoretic Deposition: Fundamentals and Applications

This article presents a study on the growth process for the template-based growth of TiO2 nanorods by sol electrophoretic deposition, through both experiment and simulation. Uniformly sized nanorods of approximately 45–200 nm in diameter and 10–60 μm in length can be grown over large areas with near unidirectional alignment. The nanorods have the desired stoichiometric chemical composition and ...

Effect of ion concentration on viscosity, electrical conductivity and deposit weight of doped nano alumina prepared by electrophoretic deposition

Viscosity, electrical conductivity and deposit weight were determined for Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) Mg2+-, Y3+-, La3+- and Ce4+-doped alumina's ethanolic suspensions prepared at dopant concentration between 350 to 1350 ppm. The concentration of XCly (X, y were: Mg, 2; Y, 3; Ce, 3 and La, 3, respectively) the charging salt, is also found to be a critical factor to control the viscosity. I...
