Introduction
- The motivation for this project is the development and proposed use of novel nanoengineered polymeric materials in many industrial and commercial applications. This necessitated the development of a robust metallic coating that can withstand aggressive environmental conditions.
- This research explores the methods of electroplating nickel and copper to the substrate, including the effects of various duty cycles and cathode current density
