Abstract
Monodisperse PMMA/HDDA polymer particles were coated via electroless Ni plating using sodium hypophosphite as a reducing agent in an acidic environment. In this study, the effects of 1) the pretreatment conditions, 2) the plating temperature, 3) the plating pH, and 4) the initial pH, control of plating bath on the variation of plating rate, surface state of plated particles and plating reproducibility were investigated. It was observed that every pretreatment steps, especially conditioning and acceleration step, were very important for obtaining uniform Ni plating and the plating rate was increased with the increase of plating temperature and pH. Moreover, the initial pH control of plating bath was critical for the plating reproducibility.
