Suspensions of HTSC for the electrophoretic deposition of bismuth [403-409] and thallium [403] HTSC, various cuprates of rare-earth metals and barium [204, 407,410-414], and also silver HTSC [415,416] and PbO-HTSC [417] compositions have been used. These are prepared in acetone, acetonitrile, toluene, butanol, methylethylketone, or mixed solvents. They contain chemically pure materials (silver is introduced as AgaO) dispersed thoroughly, first mechanically and then in liquid) by ultrasonic treatment (in which case the particles became charged). The choice of solvent is by and large determined by its effect on the stability of the deposited oxide [417].

CERIA-STABILIZED ZIRCONIA/ALUMINANANOCOMPOSITE SUITABLE FOR ELECTROPHORETIC DEPOSITION IN THE FABRICATION OF DENTAL RESTORATIONS... 

The aim of this study was to prepare the ceria-stabilized zirconia (Ce-TZP)/aIumina nanocomposite powder suitable for the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) in the fabrication of dental restorations. The mixtures of Ce-TZP and y- AI2O3 powder were calcined at 1200, 1300, or 1400 °C and were ball-milled in a wet and dry condition. Then, EPD was performed and the weight of the deposited material was determined.

The rheogram in Fig. 1 suggests two possibilities one is the largest amount of LNA adsorption onto an alumina surface in THF and the least in EtAc for steric stability. The other possibility is that the alumina surface is the most highly charged in THF and the least in EtAc for electrostatic stability. Our electrophoretic deposition experiments yielded alumina particles deposition on the positive electrode, which signifies that the alumina surface in THF was... 

Electrophoretic deposition is used for depositing thin films firom colloidal dispersion (11). Nanosized particles in a sol can be stabilized by steric or electrostatic means, and they develop a charge on the surface. When an electric field is applied, these charged particles move in response to the field and this motion is called electrophoresis for example, positively charged particles will deposit at the cathode. Nanorod arrays have been synthesized by a combination of sol preparation and electrophoretic deposition. The conditions employed for the growth of nanorod arrays by electrophoretic deposition are summarized in Table 7.1 (11). First, the sol is brought in contact with the template. Then a potential is applied (typically...

Novel aqueous-developable photoresists have been formulated to process in dUute acidic media. A dry film based on electrophoretic depositable (ED) materials was shown to have excellent stability in strong alkaline solutions, potentially useful for etching polyimides or for full-build electroless copper plating. ... 

Acid-developable photoresists mentioned in the dry-film aqueous section can also be formulated as electrophoretic-depositable liquids. These materials have high contrast, good resolution, and chemical stability in strongly alkaline solutions since they are developed in aqueous acid solutions.

From a fundamental point of view there are therefore a number of difficulties. There is no satisfactory theory that accounts for all observations on electrophoretic deposition. It is desirable to find suitable physical/chemical parameters that characterise a suspension sufficiently in order that its ability to deposit can be predicted. Most investigators use zeta potential or electrophoretic mobility, but these do not uniquely determine the ability of a suspension to deposit. For example, in suspensions of aluminium in alcohol the addition of an electrolyte C2ujses no significant change to the zeta potential, but deposits can only be obtained in the presence of the electrolyte The stability of the suspension is evidently its most significant property, but this is a somewhat empirical property not closely related to fundamental parameters. 

In view of the sensitivity of the electrophoretic mobility to factors such as chemical environment and particle surface topography, suid the need for suspensions of marginal stability, it might be thought that a process based on electrophoretic deposition would be inherently difficult to control. This situation is not helped by the shortcomings in fundamental understanding of electrophoretic deposition, and it is almost impossible to predict whether suspensions will deposit electrophoretically.
