Notes:
Electrodeposition of styrene-co-maleic anhydride (SMA) polymer, as thin films on carbon particle substrates, was carried out in a fluidized electrode bed reactor (FEBR). Feeder current, time of deposition, flow rate of anolyte (i.e., bed expansion or bed porosity), concentration of SMA in the anolyte, and pH of the anolyte were the key parameters investigated. The film characteristics were evaluated through SEM and FTIR analyses, the amounts determined by weighing. The effect of these parameters on the electrodeposition process is discussed and optimum conditions for deposition are proposed. Also, a possible mechanism for electrodeposition, particularly for the SMA-carbon system, is discussed. Furthermore, where relevant, the parameters and mechanism are compared with those for our parallel work on the ethylene-co-acrylic acid (EAA)-carbon system.
