The 28th William Blum Lecture, Anodizing of Aluminum: The Sealing Problem

The concept of the erudite electrochemist developing some abstruse theory by carrying out laboratory experiments using the most up-to-date apparatus involving computers, lasers and the like has not always resulted in landmarks for anodizing research.
