Electrochemical machining material advantages

The presented examples show that the electrochemically micro-machined anodic alumina is advantageous for the fabrication of sensors and sensor arrays because of its thermal stability, controllable porosity, and a variety of options for the deposition of sensing materials. The fabricated and tested sensors have demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity, long-term stability, low power consumption, as well as the reactivation fimction in the pulse mode.
