Studies of the binding strengths and modes of action of organic ligands on aluminium trihydroxide surfaces

This thesis describes work aimed at identifying new treatments for aluminium(oxide) surfaces which are based on complex formation at the interface by relatively simple organic ligands. Such an approach offers a more benign alternative to the surface roughening or passivation by strongly acidic and/o...
