The effects of aluminum (Al) interlayer coating and thermal post-treatment on the electron emission characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated. These CNTs were deposited on conical-shaped tungsten (W) substrates using an electrophoretic method. The Al interlayers were coated on the W substrates via magnetron sputtering prior to the deposition of CNTs. Compared with the as-depo...

Electrophoretic process was applied to the deposition of carbon nanotubes on the surface of carbon fabrics in order to enhance the properties of CNT/carbon fabric hybrid composites. Carbon fabrics were modified by two methods: Cu deposition by cathodic method and Cu coating by thermal vaporization method. CNTs were modified by PEI and oxidation treatment. The effects of carbon fabric and CNTs m...

In this article, we proposed a facile method to electrophoretically deposit highly conductive and corrosion-resistant graphene layer on metal bipolar plates (BPs) while avoiding the oxidation of substrate during electrophoretic deposition (EPD). p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) was first grafted onto negatively charged oxide (GO) obtain modified (MGO) bearing positive charges. Then, MGO dispersed in et...

It is desirable to fabricate colorful coatings that have nonfading properties and are environmentally friendly. In this study, a novel approach for creating structural color coatings from monodisperse silica particles is presented. The structural color coating films, formed from an array of silica particles with a small amount of black additive, are easily prepared by a simple electrophoretic d...

Abstract Two different methods of synthesis TiO 2 /WO 3 heterostructures were carried out with the aim to increase photocatalytic activity. In this study, anodic nanotube films synthesized by electrochemical anodization titanium foil. WO particles applied Ti/TiO samples in two ways – electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and insertion during process. Structural properties compared between pristine i...

• Recent progress related to the surface modification of biomedical implant material, i.e. CS-based coatings is reviewed. CS- based result in better cell adhesion, spreading, proliferation and bioactivity etc. Improved mineralisation was achieved by incorporating inorganic particles (eg. CaP, HaP, BG) into CS coatings. Metallic implants have dominated industries for past century load-bearing ap...
