Fatty Acids and Adhesion of Electrodeposited Metals

Abstract

THE deleterious effect of grease on the substrate on the adhesion of electrodeposited metals is well known, but quantitative data are sparse. A systematic study of the influence of monolayers of adsorbed surface-active agents on the adhesion of electro-deposits is in progress in this laboratory, and this communication reports the initial results obtained from the fatty acid series.
