Electroless plating and magnetic properties of Co�?�Zn�?�P coating on short carbon fibres

[摘要] A layer of Coâ€�?�Znâ€�?�P alloys was coated on short carbon fibre (CFs) surfaces using electroless plating method. The influence of the concentration of Co²⁺ and Zn²⁺ and reaction time on the plating rate were measured by comparing the relative mass gain rate of Coâ€�?�Znâ€�?�P-coated fibres with uncoated carbon fibres prepared under different conditions. The materials characterizations were analysed by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscope. The magnetic properties of Coâ€�?�Znâ€�?�P/CFs composites prepared in different Zn²⁺ concentration baths were measured by the vibrating sample magnetometer. The best processing parameters of electroless plating of Coâ€�?�Znâ€�?�P coating on short carbon fibres were obtained.
