A model is developed to explain the origin of the potential drop over the deposit during electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The magnitude of the potential drop over the deposit is explained in terms of the ion transport through the deposit, as controlled by the pore potential that is related to the thickness of the electrostatic double layer relative to the pore radius and the magnitude of the surface potential of the powder particles. This model is verified for EPD of Al 2 O 3 powder in ethanol-based suspensions with HNO 3 as a function of the operational pH.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
