Progress in Electrodeposition of Composite Materials

Electrochemical or electro co-deposition techniques have been used to deposit particles in metallic matrices to prepare composite coatings. The properties of the composite material can be improved by varying the type, size, amount and distribution of the incorporated particles. The effect factors of particles content in the coating were are presented in this review. The main focus is on the effect of surfactant, electrodeposition technology, zeta Potential and particles concentration in the bath on the content and distribution of co-deposited particles in the metal matrix.
