Electroless nickel plating on a biomineral-based sponge structure

Abstract

A 3-dimensional porous material prepared by transferring a sponge structure of a biomineral is coated by nickel via aqueous electroless plating.

Nanoarchitectonics for conductive polymers using solid and vapor phases

“… 10 When the oxidative agent is changed to noble metals, the composite materials of conductive polymers and metal nanoparticles are obtained as precipitates and coatings. 11 However, spontaneous formation of the higher ordered architectures from the nanoscopic to the macroscopic scale is not easily achieved by the polymerization of heteroaromatic monomers in the liquid phase.…”

YSZ/Ni double‐shell powder via surface electroless deposition tuned by an active kinetic model

“…15,16 Various metal patterns have been effectively, uniformly, and controllably grown on a matrix of various shapes and materials in the absence of an electron source, ultrahigh vacuum, high pressure, or high temperature. 17,18 This makes the application of ceramics and other materials more widespread, giving the materials higher performance and high stability in harsh working environments. [19][20][21][22] The influence of external environmental factors on ceramic surface metallization kinetics via EN deposition has been extensively investigated.…”

“…Electroless nickel (EN) deposition is an effective and important surface modification technology, which not only maintains the characteristics of the material itself but also endows new characteristics such as electromagnetics, 7–11 heat, 12–14 and optics 15,16 . Various metal patterns have been effectively, uniformly, and controllably grown on a matrix of various shapes and materials in the absence of an electron source, ultrahigh vacuum, high pressure, or high temperature 17,18 . This makes the application of ceramics and other materials more widespread, giving the materials higher performance and high stability in harsh working environments 19–22 …”
