Site-selective deposition of aerosol Pd nanoparticles on a substrate was employed to fabricate nanoscale Ag dots and rings through a subsequent electroless deposition. The fabricated nanoscale dot and ring arrays respectively showed properties in surface-enhanced Raman (SER, with a 1.8 × 10(5) enhancement factor) and Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR, at 6153 cm(-1) absorption band) spectra.

Novel composite coatings were fabricated on 6061 aluminum alloy substrates by two steps combining micro-arc oxidation (MAO) plus electroless copper plating (Cu). Different MAO + Cu compared. continuously and evenly covered an oxide surface during processing thus changing the topography. The adhesion of coating was tested pull-out method. best strength can reach industrial requirements. effects ...

nicu alloy nanowires arrays were embedded into the anodic aluminum oxide (aao) template by ac-pulse electrodeposition. different off-time were used in electrolyte with constant concentration of ni and cu and acidity of 3. the effect of deposition parameters on alloy contents was investigated by studying the microstructure and magnetic properties of as-deposited nicu alloy nanowires. atomic forc...
