Electrodeposition: three steps towards sustainability

Journal article, 2020

In the field of electrodeposition, it is becoming extremely important to integrate the technological progress with sustainability concerns expressed through recent environmental restrictions and regulations. This is especially relevant in consideration of the research dedicated to finding sustainable alternatives for coatings deposited with environmentally hazardous processes such as chromium plating. In this paper, the authors discuss different aspects of a proposed sustainable approach that could be applied as a guideline for future research.
