Porous anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) and anodic titanium oxide (ATO) attracted an increased attention in the recent years due to their high potentials of application in nanotechnology. This article presents a brief review of some important developments of these smart materials including anodization methods, formation mechanisms of the pores, self-ordering processes and applications. Anodization of other metals are also highlighted.
