Copper electroless plating at low pH (7–9) using dimethylamine borane complex as a reducing agent is studied electrochemically by linear sweep voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiometry in full electrolytes. We find that the mixed potential theory is not applicable to the described system. We show that both the working potential and the rate-controlling mechanism are dependent on t...

Compression springs were prepared from Cr-Si high strength spring steel and coated with pure Zn and ZnNi by electroplating process. The effect of baking after electroplating as well as applying an electroless nickel interlayer on the fatigue and fatigue corrosion of the springs was investigated. The results were analyzed using weibull statistical model. A considerable improvement (8%) in fati...

Electrophysiological Sensors In article number 2200342, Ryan Kaveh, Ana C. Arias, and co-workers present a fabrication method for rapidly producing low impedance, anatomically fit dry electrodes that do not require hydrogels. By using electroless copper gold plating with 3D printing, biocompatible can be optimized individuals at fraction of the cost existing vacuum deposition-based techniques.
