We studied the effects of catalyst introduction methods using poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers on the nickel patterning of polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM)-coated substrates. Three different approaches to palladium catalyst introduction using microcontact printing as the patterning technique were utilized and compared. The catalyst introduction methods are (1) direct catalyst stamping, (2) d...

introduction: nickel (ni) is one of the toxic heavy metals that exposure to it has been connected with chronic respiratory complications such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, lung cancer and heart disease. in this research, original studies that investigated occupational or environmental exposure to nickel and  measured nickel levels in human tissues were reviewed. materials and methods: in this ...

The effect of selenium-containing compounds (5-oxa-2,8-diselenanonane, 6-oxa-3,9-diselenaundecane) on the process brilliant nickel plating has been studied. Additives have Optimal concentrations organic additives and electrolysis modes were selected, allowing to obtain a shiny coating

The Young’s modulus of an electroplated nickel (Ni) thin film suitable for microelectromechanical applications has been investigated as a function of process variables: the plating temperature and current density. It was found that the Young’s modulus is approximately 205 GPa at plating temperatures less than 60 jC, close to that of bulk Ni, but drastically drops to approximately 100 GPa at 80 ...
