Introduction Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is an electrochemical method attracting increasing interest as a material processing technique.1–3 EPD is usually carried out in a two electrode cell, as schematically shown in Fig. 1. The mechanism of elec￾trophoretic deposition involves two steps. In the first step an electric field is applied between two electrodes and charged par￾ticles suspended in a suitable liquid move toward the oppositely charged electrode (electrophoresis). In the second step the parti￾cles accumulate at the deposition electrode and create a relatively compact and homogeneous film (deposition). In order to effec￾tively apply this technique to process materials, it is essential to produce a stable suspension containing charged particles free to move when an electric field is applied. Therefore EPD can be applied to any solid that is available as a fine powder (e.g. <∼30m particle size) or as a colloidal suspension, including metals, polymers, ceramics and glasses. After the deposition, a heat-treatment step is normally needed to further densify the deposit and to eliminate porosity.1–5 ∗ Corresponding author. Tel.: +44 2075946731; fax: +44 2075946757.

EPD was discovered in 1808 by the Russian scientist Ruess and it was first used in a practical application in 1933 to deposit thoria particles on a platinum cathode as an emitter for elec￾tron tube applications.1 In the following years, e.g. until the early 1990s, EPD was mainly used for the processing of tra￾ditional ceramics, including enamels and porcelain, and very limited work was carried on the EPD of engineering ceramics.6 However, in the last 15 years the interest in electrophoretic depo￾sition as a technique to produce advanced materials has widely increased, both in academia and in the industrial sector, and since then a wide range of new applications of EPD for processing a variety of bulk materials and coatings has been reported.1–6 EPD has demonstrated the possibility to realize unique microstruc￾tures and nanostructures as well as novel and complex materials combinations in a variety of macroscopic shapes, dimensions and arrangements. Fig. 2 shows the extraordinary increase of the number of published scientific papers, identified searching the tool Web of Science® by the keyword “electrophoretic depo￾sition”, from only a few papers per year in the 1970s to just under two hundred papers published in 2006. Recently, EPD has been employed for the processing of func￾tional and composite ceramics, layered and functionally graded materials, thin films, high performance ceramic and composite coatings and biomaterials and also for the deposition of nanopar￾ticles and carbon nanotubes to produce advanced nanostructured 0955-2219/$ – see front matter © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
