Abstract

Thick silica films were fabricated by electrophoretic sol-gel deposition of silica particles on a stainless steel sheet. Using sols prepared by the sol-gel method with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) films of ca. 25 μm in thickness were prepared with no cracks. The films were shown to be agglomerates of monodispersed silica particles with PAA. The size of the silica particles decreased with an increase in the added amount of PAA. The deposited weight was considerably larger for the films with PAA than that of the films without PAA.
