Effect of particle size reduction on crack formation in electrophoretically deposited YBCO films

Electrophoretic Deposition, Microstructure, and Corrosion Resistance of Porous Sol–Gel Glass/Polyetheretherketone Coatings on the Ti-13Nb-13Zr Alloy

“…Their widths were measured and found to be up to 15 lm. Sato et al [38] reported that particle size has an influence on the formation of cracks in the EPD deposit during drying. They found that the volume fraction of cracks in coatings deposited from suspensions consisting of relatively small particles (0.06 lm) was much less than that in coatings deposited from the suspension containing larger particles (3 lm).…”

The Electrophoretic Deposition of Lanthanum Manganite Powders for a Cathode‐Supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cell in Planar and Tubular Configurations

“…For preparation of a homogeneous, porous, relatively thick cathode layer that will not crack during drying, it was necessary to add a PVA binder to a suspension of the fine LMO powder. Use of submicrometer powders increases the stability of a suspension, but also prevents cracking of the deposit 33 and can reduce optimum amount of binder.…”

YBa2Cu3O7−x dispersion in iodine acetone for electrophoretic deposition: Surface charging mechanism in a halogenated organic media

“…acetone [10,12,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32], isobutylmethylketone [11], propanol and butanol [31,32], acetone being the most used solvent. In acetone, a negative value of zeta potential for 0.01 g/l YBCO suspensions have been determined by Koura et al [20], while more concentrated suspensions promote a positive surface charge, leading to cathodic deposition [12, 21-35, 31, 32].…”

Other studies show that it is customary to use iodine (I 2 ) as stabiliser in acetone [10,12,19,20,[27][28][29][30]. Zeta-potentials of YBCO in acetone-I 2 solutions are always positive, forming also cathodic deposits.…”
