TL;DR: A comprehensive review of relevant recent work on EPD describing the application of the technique in the processing of several traditional and advanced materials (functional and structural ceramic coatings, composite and porous materials, laminated ceramics, functionally graded materials, thin films and nanostructured materials) is presented in this article.

TL;DR: N nanometre-scale secondary ion mass spectroscopy is used to demonstrate a significant reduction in the Cr:Fe ratio of the steel matrix around MnS particles, indicating chromium-depleted zones are susceptible to high-rate dissolution that ‘triggers’ pitting.

TL;DR: In situ surface X-ray diffraction was used to identify the detailed structure of the passive film that forms on (000− and (110)-oriented iron single crystals in a borate buffer solution at +04 V vs mercurous sulfate reference electrode, a high passive potential as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that ZnO nanowire toxicity in HMMs is due to pH-triggered, intracellular release of ionic Zn(2+) rather than the high-aspect nature of the wires.

TL;DR: Composite orthopaedic coatings with antibacterial capability containing chitosan, Bioglass® particles and silver nanoparticles (Ag-np) were fabricated using a single-step electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique, and their structural and preliminary in vitro bactericidal and cellular properties were investigated.
