Abstract
Orientation technique based on the magneto-scientific crystal alignment phenomenon combined with electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique was applied for the seeding process of zeolite L particles. Well-dispersed, ethanol-based zeolite L suspension was prepared and then consolidated on porous zirconia substrates by EPD. Conducting polypyrrole film synthesized on the zirconia substrate was used as an anodic substrate for the EPD process. The EPD was performed in a superconducting magnet with applying 12 T strong magnetic field to the suspension. The degree of orientation was characterized by XRD and compared with that of the zeolite L layer prepared by slip casting in a 12 T strong magnetic field using the same suspension.
