The effect of flake-like morphology on the coating properties of silver coated copper particles fabricated by electroless plating

In this study, the electroless silver plating method was applied on the copper particles synthesized by mechanical milling process. The plating process was carried out at the temperature of 60 °C, at the pH of 11 and the stirring speed of 600 rpm to obtain uniform silver coating on the copper particles. SEM results showed that milling time has important effects on the coating thickness and surface morphology of silver coated copper particles....
