Influence of bath temperatures on the wettability of copper films surface prepared by electroless plating method on beech wood

摘要: Copper films were coated on beech wood substrates by electroless plating method. The influence of bath temperature the copper properties was studied varying temperatures 25, 35, 45 and 55 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, photoelectron (XPS), micro Raman contact angle measurements used to both characterize physical chemical understand wettability surface. In our studies, we have found that gained mass significantly increased at crystalline nature confirmed XRD. presence Cu2O CuO observed XPS techniques, which confirms oxidization Also these characterization techniques shown big morphology, grain size, composition film thickness copper. highly influenced increasing copper, is temperature. demonstrated C―O, O―CO components surface samples.
