AElectroplating onto polymeric materials is required for different purposes in various applications. Commercial polyurethanes (PU) are electrically insulator materials and durable at high temperatures. Nevertheless, the PU used in this study has high electrical conductivity, a low thermal expansion coefficient and is a high density foam. In this work, surface metallization of PU foam was studied to prepare the surface for a subsequent electroplating process. The surface metallization was carried out by sensitization, activation and electroless nickel plating. Metallized surfaces were characterized after electrochemical nickel plating at different current densities and surface morphology, roughness as well as physical properties of the coatings. The results show that increasing current density adversely affects the surface morphology and metallization processes enhance the surface conductivity of the foam.

Metallisation of high density polyurethane surfaces
Unlu, Busra; Oz, Yahya; ERDOĞAN, METEHAN; Karakaya, İshak (2021-01-01)
Electroplating onto polymeric materials is required for different purposes in various applications. Commercial polyurethanes (PU) are electrically insulator materials and durable at high temperatures. Nevertheless, the PU used in this study has a relatively higher electrical conductivity, lower thermal expansion and is a high density foam. In this work, surface metallisation of PU foam was studied to prepare the surface for subsequent electroplating processes. Surface metallisation was carried out by sensit...
Multilayer graphene growth on polar dielectric substrates using chemical vapour deposition
KARAMAT, SHUMAİLA; Celik, K.; Zaman, S. Shah; Oral, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2018-06-01)
High quality of graphene is necessary for its applications at industrial scale production. The most convenient way is its direct growth on dielectrics which avoid the transfer route of graphene from metal to dielectric substrate usually followed by graphene community. The choice of a suitable dielectric for the gate material which can replace silicon dioxide (SiO2) is in high demand. Various properties like permittivity, thermodynamic stability, film morphology, interface quality, bandgap and band alignment...
Nonlinear compressible finite viscoleasticity of epoxy-based polymers
Dal, Hüsnü; Gromala, P. J.; Han, B. (2019-01-01)
Epoxy-based polymers are widely used in the semiconductor industry as thermal and/or electrical interfaces and as encapsulating material. In the automotive industry, epoxy-based molding compounds (EMCs) are often used to protect not only the single IC packages but also the entire electronic control units (ECUs) (or the power modules). The stress caused by the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between EMC and adjacent materials is one of the major causes for premature failure. In the tem...
Electrochromic properties of multicolored novel polymer synthesized via combination of benzotriazole and N-functionalized 2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole units
Rende, Eda; Kilic, Cihan E.; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toffoli, Daniele; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2014-08-20)
Synthesis of new conducting polymers is desired since their electrochemical and optical properties enable them to be used as active layers in many device applications. Benzotriazole and N-functionalized 2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole (SNS Series) containing polymers showed very promising results as electrochromic materials. In order to observe the effect of the combination of these two units, three new monomers; 2-(6-(2,5-bis(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexyl)-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)-2H benzo[d][1,2,3...
Carbon coating of magnesium particles
Aktekin, Burak; Eyovge, Cavit; Öztürk, Tayfur (2017-10-05)
Magnesium when hydrided has low thermal and electrical conductivity and carbon coating would be useful to remedy this for a variety of purposes. In this study, carbon coating was achieved by co-feeding magnesium and methane into a thermal plasma reactor. This yielded carbonaceous material with magnesium particles 5-10 nm in size embedded in graphitic matrix. A further reduction down to 2-3 nm was possible but required reductions in the precursor feed rate. 2 wt% carbon was sufficient to fully protect magnes...
