The doctoral thesis is orientated to preparation of advanced ceramic materials by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The vertical mode of EPD in constant current regime was used in this study. The morphology of prepared materials (image structural analysis), physical properties (EPD yields, relative density, roughness of deposit surface) and mechanical properties (hardness, fracture toughness, elastic module) were characterized on the prepared deposits from alumina (Al2O3), zirconia (ZrO2) or their composites. It was found that the surface charge of alumina or zirconia particles was opposite (inversion charge) in stabilized isopropanolic dispersions than in case of water dispersions. The model of alumina or zirconia particles “inverse” stabilization was proposed. This type of EPD was further studied in presence of different acidic stabilizers. The obtained results from the experimental work (-potential and electric conductivity of dispersions, EPD yields, relative density of deposits, roughness of deposit surface etc.) showed the monochloracetic acid as the optimal type of acidic stabilizer. The kinetic of EPD process from dispersions containing isopropanol, monochloracetic acid and Al2O3 or ZrO2 particles and its influence on the final properties of prepared deposits was studied. The new method of kinetic measurement was developed. Due to good knowledge of EPD kinetic the ceramic laminates (Al2O3/ZrO2) with optimized layer thickness were prepared. The internal stresses and their influence on crack trajectory in ceramic laminates contained 100-150 strongly bonded layers were studied. It was found that the dominant role of crack deflection played the internal compressive stresses, i.e. with increasing of amount of internal compressive stresses the crack deflection was also increased. This work brought a new knowledge in the area of non-aqueous ceramic dispersion stabilization and preparation of heterostructured ceramic materials.
