Abstract:This paper reports the applicability of a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution of stannous acetate (Sn(OAc) 2 /DMSO) for sensitization in electroless deposition (ELD). Silver ELD was examined on nanostructured surfaces derived from polystyrene-blockpoly(methylmethacrylate) via sensitization with an aqueous or DMSO solution of Sn(OAc) 2 or SnCl 2 , activation with aqueous Ag[(NH 3 ) 2 ] + , followed by immersion in an aqueous solution containing [Ag(NH 3 ) 2 ] + and tartrate. Sensitization with 0.5 mM Sn(OAc) 2 /… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
