Abstract

The effects of plating temperature on the plating rate, P content, surface morphology, and electrical resistance of the electroless Ni-P deposits were studied. The results showed that the deposition rate of the Ni-P deposit and P content of the Ni-P layer increased with the rise of temperature of the plating bath. Scanning electron microscopy of the Ni-P deposits showed a nodule structure. The Ni-P plating layers had an amorphous structure and surface resistance of the layer decreased with the rise of temperature. In addition, the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of electroless Ni-P plated polyester fabric was also investigated. The result indicated that EMI SE of Ni-P plated polyester fabric was close to 45-50 dB when the surface resistance was 0.63 Ω/□.
