PROBLEM 18.22 The reflection of light from anodized titanium is somewhat similar to the diffraction of X rays from a crystal (Section 10.7). Explain why the color of anodized titanium depends on the thickness of the Ti02 layer. 

In the study of anodized titanium oxide/titanium, commercially available polyester (Mylar) was used as the substrate with a 200-mn thick film of titanium deposited by evaporation [36], The titanium metal was anodized in generate 7- to 8-mn thick titanium dioxide films, which showed high leakage (due to Ti02 being a wide band gap semiconductor). Capacitors were made with this dielectric, and these showed a capacitance of 2.42 pFcm and an effective dielectric constant K ff = 21.

Anodization techniques. Anodization has also been employed to fabricate 3-D nanoporous or nanotubular scaffolds of anodic titanium oxide and aluminum oxide [42,43]. These techniques are essentially the same as the anodization methods introduced in Chapter 2 and, thus, are not expanded upon here.

Anodized films are most often applied to protect aluminum alloys. However there are processes for other metals such as titanium, zinc, and magnesium. Anodized titanium is used in dental implants and sometimes in art and costume jewelry because it generates various colors without dyes. Each color depends on a specific thickness of the oxide [9]. To ensure the preparation of a consistent oxide layer, one must control conditions such as electrolytic concentrations, acidity, and current. Also a sealing process is often needed to achieve corrosion resistance because thick coatings (oxide layers) are generally porous.

The corrosion rate of anodized titanium (solution 60 ml ethanol, 35 ml water, 10 ml lactic acid, 5 ml phosphoric acid, 5 mg citric acid and 5 mg oxalic acid 45V, 45s) is much lower than that of passivated titanium (40%...

Platinised titanium anodes (titanium carrying a thin surface film of platinum, of the order of 0-0025 mm thick) have proved successful in cathodic-protection systems employing impressed-current techniques, as electrodes for electrodialysis of brackish water, and in many applications where established anode materials suffer significant corrosion. Platinum-coated titanium anodes can operate without breakdown at very high current densities, of the order of 5 0(X)A/m, in sea water, as although the very thin platinum coating may be porous the underlying titanium exposed at the pores will become anodically passivated...
