Optimality of electroless plating processes for dense metal ceramic composite membrane fabrication

Abstract

Dense metal ceramic composite membranes such as nickel ceramic and palladium ceramic membranes have several functional applications including media for XRD studies separation of dust particles from gaseous streams hydrogen separation membrane reformers insitu hydrogen production etc Typically dense Pd ceramic and nickel ceramic composite membranes are fabricated with magnetron sputtering and electroless plating techniques respectively Considering the issues of scalability and process simp
