Abstract: Using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method, we prepared barium titanate nanoparticle (BT-NP) thin films by depositing BT-NP monodispersed in ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGMME) onto an electrically conductive substrate coated with polyacrylic acid (PAA). Deposition efficiency was increased compared to conventional EPD, and the uniformity of the film thickness was also improved as a result of the BT-NPs cohesion effect of the PAA coating on the substrate in addition to the electrophoretic deposition effect of the electric field. When low-molecular-weight PAA was used, the film was reinforced since PAA, which coats the substrate, diffused close to the surface of the BT-NP film during film formation. A crack-free BT-NP film was produced with a film thickness of several micrometers.
