Electrodeposition of Polymers
Electrodeposition of polymers is a process where an electric current is used to form a polymer coating onto a conducting surface. In this method, monomers (small building blocks of polymers) in a solution are driven by electricity to deposit and polymerize directly onto an electrode. This creates a uniform, controlled film of polymer with desirable properties like durability and corrosion resistance. It offers precise control over the coating's thickness and composition, making it useful for protective, decorative, and electronic applications.
