Nickel coated mica for conductive compounds

摘要

It has been shown that nickel coated mica will function as a conductive filler in ABS compounds. The coating process has been optimised by investigation of PdCl2 (catalyst) concentration, coating temperature and pH and activator. Using a coating temperature of 90degreesC and a pH of 5, conductive mica powders coated with thin uniform layers of nickel have been produced. [References: 9]
