Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A bathless plating for a conductive material with composite particles or with high surface coverage. The setup for the bathless electro-plating includes a cathode, a composite mixture, a membrane, and an anode. The cathode is a conductive material. The composite mixture comprises a metal salt, an acid, and a composite material. The composite mixture is applied to the cathode. A hydrophilic membrane is applied to the composite mixture. An anode, with oxidizing properties, is applied to the membrane. A current is applied to the bathless setup. Upon removing the current and composite mixture from the cathode, a metal-based composite coating remains on the cathode.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A metal-composite electroplated coating prepared by the process comprising the steps of: applying a composite mixture to a cathode, wherein the cathode is a conductive material, and wherein the composite mixture comprises a metal salt, an acid, and a composite material; applying a membrane to the composite mixture, wherein the membrane is hydrophilic; applying an anode to the membrane, wherein the anode is a material with oxidizing properties; and applying a current to the anode and the cathode, wherein the composite material has a diameter greater than 20 μm.
