LSGS (Laboratoire des Sciences et Génie des Surfaces) - Nancy École des Mines. Two CIFRE theses were realized with Messier Bugatti and Cératronic Recherche, backed up by the Economic Interest Group and the research laboratory associated with the CNRS. This work covers electrolytic-plasma-medium optical spectroscopy and the morphological and analytical study of strUCT Franceures obtained using this process (Electrolytic Plasma Oxidation - Micro Arc Oxidation)
