Although micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings are widely used for anti-wear protection of metals, they usually contain lots pores and exhibit high coefficient friction. In this work, porous MAO consisting Al2TiO5 were fabricated on the titanium substrate, then Ni-P Ni-P-polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) deposited via electroless plating to fill improve tribological performance. Electroless has wear ...

By restricting the dilated deformation, surface modification can stimulate multiple shear banding and improve the plasticity of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). Aimed at modifying the surface of BMGs by thin layers, a crystalline Ni coating with ultrafine grains was coated on the surface of a Ti-based BMG by electroless plating. With a thickness of about 10 μm, the prepared thin coating could effe...

Copper films were grown on (3-Mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and 6-(3-(triethoxysilyl)propylamino)-1,3,5- triazine-2,4-dithiol monosodium (TES) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) modified acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) substrate via electroless copper plating. The copper films were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray ...

Porous Ag/TiO2/Au coatings with excellent multipactor suppression were prepared by fabrication of porous Ag surface through two-step wet chemical etching, synthesis of TiO2 coatings by electroless-plating-like solution deposition and deposition of Au coatings via electroless plating. Porous structure of Ag surface, TiO2 coatings on porous Ag surface and Au coatings on porous Ag/TiO2 surface wer...

in this work the effects of various methods of agitation on the properties of electroless ni-p-mos2 composite coatings were investigated. magnetic stirring as well as purging the solution with gas (air, oxygen, nitrogen) were used. plating rate, chemical composition, mos2 distribution, and hardness of the deposit were measured. topography of coating was studied with metallography and scanning e...

As shown in article number 2002133 by Rong-Ming Ho and co-workers, gold nanohelices for chiral plasmonic polymer films can be fabricated using self-assembled block copolymers as templates templated electroless plating. The nanohelix serve absorber scatterer the polymeric manipulating circular-polarized light based on its chirality. This bottom-up approach suggests a facile method fabrication of...
