무전해 니켈도금은 전기 공급 없이 환원재의 화학반응에 의해 도금이 진행되며, 복잡한 형상의 제품에도 균일한 도금 층을 형성시킬 수 있어 널리 적용되는 기술이다. 특히, 전기 니켈도금 층에 비해 무전해 니켈도금 층의 내식성과 내마모성이 우수하여 산업현장에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 해양환경에서 빠른 유속 변화에 의해 발생되는 캐비테이션-침식 방지를 위한 무전해 니켈도금의 적용은 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 회주철의 캐비테이션-침식 방지를 위해 최적의 무전해 니켈도금 조건을 규명하고, 그 캐비테이션 저항성을 평가하고자 하였다. 무전해 니켈코팅을 위한 모재는 gray cast iron (FC250)을 $19.5mm{\times}19.5mm{\times}5mm$의 크기로 제작하였다. 회주철의 인장강도는 $330N/mm^2$이며, 그 성분 조성(wt.%)은 3.23 C, 1.64 Si, 0.84 Mn, 0.016 P, 0.013 S 그리고 나머지는 Fe이다. 시험편은 SiC 페이퍼 grit #1200까지 연마하였으며, 시험편의 표면 거칠기(centre line average, Ra)는 $1.6-2.1{\mu}m$ 범위 내로 제작하였다. 연마된 시험편은 증류수(distilled water) 세척 후 hot air로 건조하였다. 무전해 도금 전 시험편은 탈지를 위해 아세톤 용액(room temperature, RT)에서 3분간 초음파 세척하고, $90^{\circ}C$의 알카리 수용액으로 5분간 세척하였다. 그리고 표면활성화를 위한 산세척(acid pickling)은 5% sulfuric acid 용액에서 30초 동안 실시하였다. 무전해 Ni-P(electroless nickel, EN) 도금 전과 모든 과정마다 증류수로 시험편을 철저하게 세척하였다. EN 도금을 위한 도금욕(the bath)은 기존 문헌 연구를 통해 조성성분, 도금조건 및 변수들(the parameters)의 적절한 범위를 결정하였다. 도금조로 500mL 비커를 사용하였으며, 모든 시험편은 2시간 동안 EN deposition을 실시하였다. 캐비테이션 실험 결과 EN 도금의 표면경도가 증가함에 따라 캐비테이션 저항성도 현저하게 향상되었다.

There is a close relationship between the performance and the heat generation of the electronic device. Heat generation causes a significant degradation of the durability and/or efficiency of the device. It is necessary to have an effective method to release the generated heat. Based on demands of the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, it is necessary to develop a robust and reliable plating technique for substrates with high thermal conductivity, such as alumina ($Al_2O_3$), aluminium nitride (AlN), and silicon nitride ($Si_3N_4$). In this study, the plating of metal layers on an insulating silicon nitride ($Si_3N_4$) ceramic substrate was developed. We formed a Pd-$TiO_2$ adhesion layer and used APTES(3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane) to form OH groups on the surface and adhere the metal layer on the insulating $Si_3N_4$ substrate. We used an electroless Ni plating without sensitization/activation process, as Pd particles were nucleated on the $TiO_2$ layer. The electrical resistivity of Ni and Cu layers is $7.27{\times}10^{-5}$ and $1.32{\times}10^{-6}ohm-cm$ by 4 point prober, respectively. The adhesion strength is 2.506 N by scratch test.

Metal interconnections of multilayer Al/Ni and TiW/seed-Ni/Ni were formed on glass, and the adhesion strength and nanoindentation response of the composite layers were evaluated. The Al/Ni multilayer was formed by an anodic bonding of glass to Al and subsequent electroless plating of Ni, while the TiW/Ni multilayer was fabricated by sputter deposition of TiW and seed-Ni onto glass and electroless plating of Ni. Because of the diffusion of aluminum into glass during the anodic bonding, anodically bonded glass/Al joint exhibited greater interfacial strength than the sputtered glass/TiW one. The Al/Ni on glass also showed excellent resistance against delamination by bending deformation compared to the TiW/seed-Ni/Ni on glass. From the nanoindentation experiment of each metal layer on glass, it was found that the aluminum layer had extremely low hardness and elastic modulus similar to the glass substrate and played a beneficial role in the delamination resistance by lessening stress intensification at the joint. The indentation data of the multilayers also supported superior joint reliability of the Al/Ni to glass compared to that of the TiW/seed-Ni/Ni to glass.

본 연구에서는 NaH$_2$PO$_2$$H_2O$ (차아인산이수소나트륨)을 환원제로 사용한 무전해 도금법을 이용하여 corning glass 2948 유리기판 위에 Co-W-P 도금층을 제조할 때, pH 및 온도에 따른 석출속도, 합금조성 및 미세구조와 자기적 특성을 고찰하였다. 무전해 Co-P 도금층은 석출전위에 따라 산성에서 석출되지 않고 알칼리성에서만 환원석출반응에 의해 형성되었으며, 석출속도는 pH와 온도가 증가할수록 상승하여 pH 10, 온도 8$0^{\circ}C$일 때 가장 우수하였다. 자기적 특성은 pH 9, 온도 7$0^{\circ}C$일 때 보자력 870Oe, 각형비 0.78로 가장 우수하였으며, 이때, Co-P 도금층의 인(P)의 함량은 2.54%, 두께는 0.216$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 결정배향은 $\beta$-Co의 fcc는 발견되지 않았고, $\alpha$-Co의 hcp(1010), (0002), (1011) 방향의 결정배향을 확인할 수 있었으며, (1010), (1011) 방향이 우선 배향한 것으로 보아 수평자기벡터를 형성함을 확인할 수 있었다. 무전해 Co-W-P 도금층의 경우는 자기적 특성에서 보자력은 500Oe, 각형비는 0.6 정도의 경향을 보였지만, 결정배향에 있어서는 $\alpha$-Co (0002) 방향으로 우선 배향하여 수직자화벡터를 형성함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 합금조성에 있어 인(P)의 함량은 0.8$\pm$0.2%로 일정하였고, W의 석출량은 $Na_2$WO$_4$의 농도가 증가할수록 증가하여 0.1mol/L일 때 20%이였다. 수소가스를 이용한 환원분위기에서 10$0^{\circ}C$간격으로 1시간씩 40$0^{\circ}C$까지 열처리에 따른 자기적 특성과 미세구조의 변화를 확인하여 본 결과 Co-W-P는 열처리에 따라 표면의 평활도는 향상되었지만, 자기적 특성과 미세구조에는 아무런 변화가 없었다.

For this paper, we investigated the area specific resistance (ASR) of commercially available ferritic stainless steels with different chemical compositions for use as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) interconnect. After 430h of oxidation, the STS446M alloy demonstrated excellent oxidation resistance and low ASR, of approximately 40 $m{\Omega}cm^2$, of the thermally grown oxide scale, compared to those of other stainless steels. The reason for the low ASR is that the contact resistance between the Pt paste and the oxide scale is reduced due to the plate-like shape of the $Cr_2O_3$(s). However, the acceptable ASR level is considered to be below 100 $m{\Omega}cm^2$ after 40,000 h of use. To further improve the electrical conductivity of the thermally grown oxide on stainless steels, the Co layer was deposited on the stainless steel by means of an electroless deposition method; it was then thermally oxidized to obtain the $Co_3O_4$ layer, which is a highly conductive layer. With the increase of the Co coating thickness, the ASR value decreased. For Co deposited STS444 with 2 ${\mu}m$hickness, the measured ASR at $800^{\circ}$ after 300 h oxidation is around 10 $m{\Omega}cm^2$, which is lower than that of the STS446M, which alloy has a lower ASR value than that of the non-coated STS. The reason for this improved high temperature conductivity seems to be that the Mn is efficiently diffused into the coating layer, which diffusion formed the highly conductive (Mn,Co)$_3O_4$ spinel phases and the thickness of the $Cr_2O_3$(S), which is the rate controlling layer of the electrical conductivity in the SOFC environment and is very thin

This investigation highlights rationale of electrically conductive nano adhesives for its essential application for Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shielding in satellites and Lightning Strike Protection in aircrafts. Carbon Nano Fibres (CNF) were functionalized by electroless process using Tollen's reagent and by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (PECVD) process by depositing silver on CNF. Different weight percentage of CNF and silver coated CNF were reinforced into the epoxy resin hardener system. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrographs clearly show the presence of CNF in the epoxy matrix, thus giving enough evidence to show that dispersion is uniform. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) studies reveal that there is uniform deposition of silver on CNF resulting in significant improvement in interfacial adhesion with epoxy matrix. There is a considerable increase in thermal stability of the conductive nano adhesive demonstrated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). Four probe conductivity meters clearly shows a substantial increase in the electrical conductivity of silver coated CNF-epoxy composite compared to non-coated CNF-epoxy composite. Tensile test results clearly show that there is a significant increase in the tensile strength of silver coated CNF-composites compared to non-coated CNF-epoxy composites. Consequently, this technology is highly desirable for satellites and EMI Shielding and will open a new dimension in space research.

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs), due to their unusual quantum-confinement effects that lead to superior electrical and optical properties compared to those of the bulk silicon, have been widely researched as a potential building block in a variety of novel electronic devices. The conventional means for the synthesis of SiNWs has been the vapor-liquid-solid method using chemical vapor deposition; however, this method is time consuming, environmentally unfriendly, and do not support vertical growth. As an alternate, the electroless etching method has been proposed, which uses metal catalysts contained in aqueous hydrofluoric acids (HF) for vertically etching the bulk silicon substrate. This new method can support large-area growth in a short time, and vertically aligned SiNWs with high aspect ratio can be readily synthesized with excellent reproducibility. Nonetheless, there still are rooms for improvement such as the poor surface characteristics that lead to degradation in electrical performance, and non-uniformity of the diameter and shapes of the synthesized SiNWs. Here, we report a facile method of SiNWs synthesis having uniform sizes, diameters, and shapes, which may be other than just cylindrical shapes using a modified nanosphere lithography technique. The diameters of the polystyrene nanospheres can be adjustable through varying the time of O2 plasma treatment, which serve as a mask template for metal deposition on a silicon substrate. After the removal of the nanospheres, SiNWs having the exact same shape as the mask are synthesized using wet etching technique in a solution of HF, hydrogen peroxide, and deionized water. Different electrical and optical characteristics were obtained according to the shapes and sizes of the SiNWs, which implies that they can serve specific purposes according to their types.

Electroless plating of metallic nickel on carbon fiber surfaces was carried out to control specific electric resistivity of the fibers, and the effects of the nickel content and coating thickness on the electric properties were studied. The structural and surface properties of the carbon fibers were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The specific resistivity of the fibers was measured using a four-point probe testing method. From the XPS results, the oxygen and Ni atomic ratio of the fibers was greatly enhanced as the plating time increased. Additionally, it was observed that the specific electric resistivity decreased considerably in the presence of metallic nickel particles and with the formation of nickel layers on carbon fibers.

An electroless deposition method was used to modify the surface properties of rice husk ceramic particles (RHC) by depositing nano-nickel on the surface of the RHC (Ni-RHC). The dry tribological performances of aluminum matrix composite adobes containing different contents of RHC and Ni-RHC particles have been investigated using a micro-tribometer. Results showed that the Ni-RHC particles substantially improved both the friction and wear properties of the Ni-RHC/aluminum matrix adobes. The optimal concentration was determined to be 15 wt% for both the RHC and Ni-RHC particles. The improvements in the tribological properties of aluminum adobes including the Ni-RHC were ascribed to friction-induced peeling off of Ni coating and formation of protection layer on the wear zone, both of which led to low friction and wear volume.
