Abstract
Porous anodic alumina (PAA) membranes were prepared using two-step self-organized anodization process carried out in 0.3 M oxalic acid at the temperature of about 5 o C. PAA membranes fabricated underconstant potential of 40 V gave optimum ordering of hexagonal pores. Microhardness of the prepared PAA membranes were studied using Vickers hardness test rig. It was observed that microhardness of prepared PAA membraneswere 2.20 GPa and 0.21 GPa for 100 g and1000 g loads respectively. � 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
