A mathematical model for analyzing the double layer ~dl! effect on pulse plating in the presence of additives is presented. Numerical simulations are employed to predict the influence of additives with various inclusion rates and capacities on current and potential response and mass transfer. It is shown that capacitive current density will not only increase in the presence of additives due to ...

Electrochemical dual-pulse plating with sequential galvanostatic and potentiostatic pulses has been used to fabricate an electrocatalytically active Ni/Ni(OH)2/graphite electrode. This electrode design strategy to generate the Ni/Ni(OH)2 interface on graphite from Ni deposits is promising for electrochemical applications and has been used by us for hydrogen generation. The synergetic effect of ...

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) has become a widely accepted technique to treat distal tibial fractures. Recently, the novel application of a locking plate used as an external fixator (supercutaneous plating) was introduced for the management of open fractures and infected nonunions and even as an adjunct in distraction osteogenesis, which is considered another less invasive meth...
