摘要: Abstract In this work we report on the Ni–B electroless coating of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Characterization was carried out using scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Prior to MWCNTs were cleaned, sensitized activated. Then achieved by immersion for 1, 3 5 min. For time 5 min obtained coatings homogeneous along without voids; structure is mainly crystalline with some amorphous regions. This process developed give thermal stability air change its superficial properties several applications, be homogeneously mixed liquid metals increase their mechanic properties.
