The Experimental Studies of Electrodeposition Process for Pure Nickel-Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes Composite Plate

INRODUCTION Nickel-multiwall carbon nanotubes (NiMWCNTs) composite plates were formed via an electrodeposition technique, and their micro structural morphogenesis, electric resistance, and mechanical properties were measured. Ni-MWCNTs composite plates containing MWCNTs were electrodeposited from a 55-60 atom% Ni and 0.01 mass% MWCNTs composite plating bath. MWCNTs were embedded relatively uniformly in the Ni alloy matrix. The electrodeposition of Ni -MWCNTs composite plates was controlled as a function of magnitude, frequency, and processing time of the applied power. Studies have proved that enhancing pure Ni matrix by adding carbon nanotubes to form structural reinforcements and to increase electrical conductivity has significantly improved mechanical and electrical properties at very low carbon nanotube loading. The electric resistance of the composite plates was reduced than that of the pure Ni plate and the mechanical properties of the composite plates was comprehensive advancement than that of the pure Ni plate. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images have been use to verify the electrostatic stabilization of the MWCNTs in the dispersion without agglomeration caused by the controlled electrophoresis force.
