“…Ceramics (SiC [1][2][3][4][5][6], Al 2 O 3 [7,8], TiO 2 [7,9], ZrO 2 [7]), polymers (polyethylene [10], polytetrafluorethylene [11]), metals (Ti [12,13], Al [14]) and other materials (hydroxyapatite [15], diamond [16]) have been co-electrodeposited with nickel in order to improve properties, such as hardness, wear resistance, lubrication, corrosion resistance and catalytic properties. The co-deposition consists in electrolyzing a nickel plating bath containing suspended solid particles using a suitable cathode material.…”
