Method for electroless nickel plating on the surface of CaCO₃ powders

Abstract

In this work, electroless nickel plating on the surface of CaCO3 powders successively modified with stearic acid, oleamide and 3-amino-propyltriethoxysilane in that order was developed.

Hierarchical Assembly of CuO Nano-Dandelions on 3-D Printed Template

“…The 3-D log-pile block was immersed in an acidic etchant at 80 °C for 10 min. Pd metal salt was adsorbed by 42 chemisorption mechanism on the surface by dipping the block into a catalyst solution bath, which is composed of 0.5 g/L palladium chloride (PdCl) and 3 mL/L hydrochloric acid (HCl), for 3 min at the room temperature. Subsequently, the 3-D substrate surface was activated by Pd catalytic nuclei, which was formed in an activator solution bath at 50°C for 1 min.…”

Electroless nickel plating on a biomineral-based sponge structure

“…The electroless Ni plating has been largely applied in electric material field to form interconnects in 2-dimensional printed circuit boards [4][5][6] . Additionally, the electroless plating has been utilized to coat colloidal particles and nanotubes with Ni toward applications as conducting spacers for electronic devices and additives for electromagnetic absorbing materials [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . Although the electroless plating could be applied to substrates with various shapes, there have been few number of reports regarding electroless Ni plating on 3-dimensional porous structures.…”

Preparation of highly reflective silver metallized PVC film by autocatalytic deposition

“…Firstly, we treated the PVC surface to improve the surface roughness of the film and introduced palladium (Pd) to provide a catalytic center for deposition. 29 Then, Ag particles were deposited on the treated PVC film surface through a silver mirror reaction. The metallized Ag layer obtained by this method was uniform and compact.…”
