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 …

Electrochemical oxidation of metals, in solutions where the oxide is somewhat soluble,
produces anodic oxides with highly regular arrangements of pores. Although porous …

Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) can be created with pores that self-assemble
into ordered configurations. For more than 60 years it has been assumed that field-assisted …

Comprehensive control of processing techniques is primordial when fine-tuning the
morphological features of titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (TNTs). This systematic review …

Self-organized porous anodic oxide films are produced when reactive metals such as
aluminum and titanium are electrochemically oxidized in baths that dissolve the oxide. The …

The presentation gives an insight into the fascinating world of anodizing as corrosion
protection but also goes far beyond. Starting with an introduction to the formation of anodic …

In this review, the research conducted by the authors on anodic oxide films on aluminum is
described, paying particular attention to how the electric field strength, as a factor other than …

Galvanostatic formation of nanoporous anodic films on aluminum was performed in 0.6 mol·
dm− 3 malonic acid electrolyte over a wide current density range in order to define the …
