Anodic porous alumina,–AAO–(also known as nanoporous alumina, nanohole alumina
arrays,–NAA–or nanoporous anodized alumina platforms,–NAAP–) has opened new …

In ambient atmospheres, aluminum becomes rapidly coated with a compact 2–3 nm thick
oxide layer. This native oxide layer prevents the metal surface from further oxidation …

This paper reviews the state of the art of anodized titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO 2 NTs),
with an emphasis on the growth mechanism leading to their formation and the effect of heat …

Coatings based on ion-substituted calcium phosphate (Ca-P) have attracted great attention
in the scientific community over the past decade for the development of biomedical …

Porous anodic alumina (PAA) films are widely used as templates for functional
nanostructures, because of the high regularity and controllability of the pore morphology …

Nanoporous anodic aluminium oxide has traditionally been made in one of two ways: mild
anodization or hard anodization. The first method produces self-ordered pore structures, but …

The development of aluminum anodization technology features many stages. With the story
stretching for almost a century, rather straightforward—from current perspective …

Polymers with the same chemical composition can provide different properties by reducing
the dimension or simply by altering their nanostructure. The recent literature reports …

Electrochemical anodization of pure aluminum enables the growth of highly ordered
nanoporous anodic alumina (NAA) structures. This has made NAA one of the most popular …

Polymer nanotechnology allows manipulating materials microstructure, morphology and
compositional variation on the nanometer scale. Thus, it is able to provide materials for …
