The definitive resource for electroplating, now completely up to date

With advances in information-age technologies, the field of electroplating has seen dramatic growth in the decade since the previous edition of Modern Electroplating was published. This expanded new edition addresses these developments, providing a comprehensive, one-stop reference to the latest methods and applications of electroplating of metals, alloys, semiconductors, and conductive polymers.

With special emphasis on electroplating and electrochemical plating in nanotechnologies, data storage, and medical applications, the Fifth Edition boasts vast amounts of new and revised material, unmatched in breadth and depth by any other book on the subject. It includes:

• Easily accessible, self-contained contributions by over thirty experts

• Five completely new chapters and hundreds of additional pages

• A cutting-edge look at applications in nanoelectronics

• Coverage of the formation of nanoclusters and quantum dots using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)

• An important discussion of the physical properties of metal thin films

• Chapters devoted to methods, tools, control, and environmental issues

• And much more

A must-have for anyone in electroplating, including technicians, platers, plating researchers, and metal finishers, Modern Electroplating, Fifth Edition is also an excellent reference for electrical engineers and researchers in the automotive, data storage, and medical industries.
