Abstract
Porous anodized aluminum oxides were silicate-treated by dipping in a water-based sodium silicate solution. The surface modifications occurring on the oxide layer during immersion in solution are studied as a function of the SiO 2/Na 2O ratio and the temperature of the silicate solution. The anionic speciation in the silicate solution was studied by means of 29Si NMR. The reactions happening at the anodic alumina surface were studied by monitoring the open circuit potential as a function of time. The presence of silicate in the pores of the anodic layer is analyzed by means of GDOES and the morphological changes occurring on the oxide surface during immersion are observed by FE-SEM. The mechanism of the deposition is extended to silicate solutions with SiO 2/Na 2O = 1.
