Effect of SDS on the dispersion stability of YSZ particles in an Electroless nickel solution (2013)
Journal Article
Nwosu, N. O., Davidson, A. M., & Shearer, N. W. (2013). Effect of SDS on the dispersion stability of YSZ particles in an Electroless nickel solution. Chemical Engineering Communications, 200(12), 1623-1634. https://doi.org/10.1080/00986445.2012.757549

Optimum particle dispersion is an essential feature for composite coatings carried out on the autocatalytic electroless nickel plating platform. In this regard, the potential influence of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), on the d...
