I'm Dr. Yuliy Yuferov. My main specialization is the development of electrochemical and plasma-electrochemical (PEO) anodizing processes for valve metals such as aluminum, titanium, etc. These methods enable the fabrication of self-ordered hexagonally patterned nanoporous and nanotubular coatings, as well as straight, periodic, or complex porous structures and crystalline macroporous oxide layers derived from the substrate metallic materials. Such oxide layers or coatings provide essential functional properties, including photocatalytic activity, biocompatibility, corrosion, and wear resistance. Besides, the nanoporous alumina membrane serves as a base for creating tunable nanomaterials by filling its pores with metallic and inorganic materials. Such materials provide a basis for developing new symmetrical, asymettrical or periodical nanostructured materials with enhanced properties across a wide range of applications, as energy, wear, biology, photocatalysis and composite functional nanomaterials.
