摘要
Porous anodic aluminium oxide(AAO)and anodic titanium oxide(ATO)attracted an increased attention in the recent years due to their high potentials of application in nanotechnology.This article presents a brief review of some important developments of these smart materials including anodization methods,formation mechanisms of the pores,self-ordering processes and applications.Anodization of other metals are also highlighted.
Porous anodic aluminium oxide （ AAO ） and anodic titanium oxide （ ATO ） attracted an increased attention in the recent years due to their high potentials of application in nanotechnology. This article presents a brief review of some important developments of these smart materials including anodization methods, formation mechanisms of the pores, self-ordering processes and applications. Anodiza tion of other metals are also highlighted.
