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 …

Anodizing aluminum allowed the production of one-of-a-kind porous anodic aluminum oxide
(PAAO) films. These films have a perfectly flat barrier layer and an exceedingly porous …

This book describes the origin, use, and limitations of electrochemical phase diagrams,
testing schemes for active, passive, and localized corrosion, the development and …

A review is given of anodic alumina film formation on aluminium, with barrier and porous
films developed by anodic polarization in an appropriate electrolyte. Initial consideration of …

The anodization of aluminum is an electro-chemical process that changes the surface
chemistry of the metal, via oxidation, to produce an anodic oxide layer. During this process a …

The formation kinetics and electric properties of anodic barrier oxides on Al, Hf, Nb, Ta, Ti,
and Zr depend on the migration of ions, controlled by an electric field strength of up to 10 7 V …

We have prepared nanoscopic goldcylinders of controlled radius andaspect ratio
viaelectrodeposition of the metal within the pores of anodically-grown porous aluminum …

Nanotechnology, in combination with surface engineering focused on a fabrication of
various nanostructures and new materials, has recently attracted a vast amount of research …

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