電泳沉積法，乃一深具實用潛力之陶瓷製程。但仍有許多未明之處，有待各方鑽研投入。本研究對於電泳過程中，膠體粒子在電極表面堆積之機制，以及電泳沉積之動力學進行探討。
對於在直流電壓下，探討電泳沉積行為之機制，可歸因於在電極及沉積粒子表面，形成之電滲透流，進而引發粒子叢聚行為。此外，膠體粒子表面電雙層間的交互作用力，對粒子間的互相吸引，也具有決定性之影響。而上述論點，對於電泳過程中，皆有可能造成膠體粒子不同的堆積型態，在本研究中，分別利用數值模擬及電化學分析來進行驗證。
對於電泳沉積動力學，本研究嘗試利用類神經網路，建立電泳沉積之動力學模型。並利用一以知傳統動力學方程式來進行比較。經由比較，本研究所提出的類神經網路動力學模型，除了對動力學行為預測精準之外，還可避免許多繁雜的計算，也更具有實際應用之潛力。

Charged particles deposited near an electrode aggregate to form different microstructure during electrophoretically depositing. This colloidal technology can be applied in areas such as coating technologies and ceramics processing. This thesis tried to explore the mechanism of electrophoretic deposition and the factor affecting this phenomenon.
Here a modified electroosmotic-flow model was proposed, the electroosmotic flow under dc field caused aggregation of colloidal particles and subsequent deposition. Furthermore, the electrical double layer also contributed to the aggregation, and varied with different applied voltages. Those hypotheses have been proven by the electrochemical analysis and numerical simulation.
As for the kinetics of electrophoretic deposition, two different methods were proposed to describe the behaviors of particle deposition. The well-know kinetic function was modified about the variation of voltage. The other, the artificial neural network model, was proposed to learn the kinetic behavior of electrophoretic deposition. After comparing those two model, the artificial neural network model not only avoided much complex calculation by artificial intelligence, but also was practicable and accurate.
