Title
Fabrication and fuzzy analysis of AAO membrane with manipulated pore diameter for applications in biotechnology
Abstract
Nano porous anodized aluminum oxide is fabricated in acidic electrolyte using two step anodization process with varied potential and etching time. Pore diameter of the fabricated membrane increases with increasing the voltage and time of etching. The rate of pore opening of the membrane is established and optimized. Morphology of the membrane is studied by SEM micrographs and quantitative analysis is done by EDX. The pore size was in the range of 85-140 nm. Also the simulation and analysis for varied parameters is done using Fuzzy Logic Controller and it was observed that the simulated and value of pore diameter calculated using Mamdani's model are approximately equal with minute percentage error. The AAO membrane have potential applications in biotechnology.
