Electroless bath

+++++

Hi-

I'm a graduate student in Physics at N.C. State University and I'm looking for a chemical formula for a electroless nickel plating bath. I'm working with a catalyst that is specific to phenethyltrimethoxysilane, non lead.

Thanks.

I'll bet you would find many formulas for electroless nickel in a good university library...I assume NC State has a good library and a grad student can use it?

You are in the realm of current technology and therefore most of the formulations are proprietery. You might try to research patent information for general information. Otherwise search the web for technical articles. Probably you will need to develop your own formula.

Good Luck
