ECI — Electrophoretic Deposition VII: Fundamental and Applications An ECI Conference Series

This conference follows from the success of the first six International Conferences on Electrophoretic Deposition: Fundamentals and Applications, organized under sponsorship of the UEF in August 2002 (Canada) and ECI in June 2005 (Italy), October 2008 (Japan), October 2011 (Mexico), October 2014 (Austria) and October 2017 (Korea). The goal is to bring together experts working in the area of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) with focus mainly on its application as a processing technique for the fabrication of both traditional and new materials and composites. The conference will cover fundamentals and applications of electrophoretically deposited thick and thin films in several areas such as protective coatings, biomedicine, manufacturing of electro/photoactive, electro-mechanic, sensors and optical devices.

Topics: Modelling Fundamentals (theory) of EPD Novel experimental setups for EPD Substrate surface treatments and coatings by EPD Traditional applications of EPD with ceramics, metals and polymers Colloidal chemistry knowledge in EPD Microstructure design tools applied to EPD EPD integrated manufacturing technologies (session focusing on industrial applications) EPD as nanotechnology EPD in additive manufacturing EPD for corrosion or oxidation protective coatings EPD in biofunctionalization of surfaces EPD for biomaterials and electrobiofabrication EPD in energy storage and generation devices EPD in MEMS and sensors EPD in optoeletronic and magnetic devices
