Research of Preparation of Cu-coated Ground Graphite

Cu-coated non-metallic materials is now becoming a spot hot in functional materials field.Cu-coated ground graphite was obtained by electroless plating.The method how to get good copper coating were discussed by analyzing the deposition rate and surface morphology of products.The technics of electroless copper plating on ground graphite were divided into surface pretreatment,electroless plating and performance tests.Electroless copper plating after surface pretreatment was taken as emphasis.The influence factors of electroless copper plating were studied.The best process was obtained by unitary factor testing.Using the optimal plating process,Cu-coated ground graphite with smooth-bright,good adhesive,high stability and good visualization was obtained.
