EPD is a technique where charged particles in a stable colloidal suspension are moved through the liquid due to electric field and deposited on an oppositely charged conductive substrate, forming the intended material or device. EPD enables fabrication of a wide range of structures from traditional to advanced materials, from nanometric thin films to a fraction of 1 mm thick films, and from porous scaffolds to highly compact coatings. These structures include different compositions with complex shapes and structures which can be formed in a relatively short experimentation time by simple apparatus. This review presents the fundamentals, mechanisms, and characteristics of EPD along with its past and recent applications.
