Electroplating is the coating of an electrically conductive object with a layer of metal using electrical current resulting in a thin, smooth, even coat of metal on the object. This text covers the methods and applications of electrochemical deposition of metals, alloys, semiconductors, and conductive polymers. It provides practical advice and some theoretical background to those entering the field of electrodeposition. Like previous editions, the fifth edition will be the first stop reference for the electroplating community. This fully updated edition includes significant advances in the field, from emerging electrodeposition techniques to electroplating in medical and data storage industries.
