Abstract

Electroless plating of Ni-Fe alloy on poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabrics was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize morphology, structure, composition of the PET fabric coated with Ni-Fe. The effects of plating parameters on the deposition rate, surface morphology and the composition of deposits were discussed in this paper. The results indicated that the plating method was effective and low-cost, and Ni-Fe alloy deposited by the electroless deposition were continuous and uniform.
