Electrophoretic deposition and characterization of chitosan-molybdenum composite coatings.

In this paper, the effect of the electric field on the properties of a new chitosan-molybdenum (Chit-Mo) composite coating obtained by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was investigated. The composite coatings obtained showed different morphologies depending on the conditions used during the deposition process. Chemical composition results and microstructure analysis showed homogeneous distribution of molybdenum in a chitosan matrix.
