Following the last entry in this blog, we analyzed the results obtained in our coarse grain simulations, as we explained in detail in the NICKEFFECT webinar in October (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVsZ6AeCYkw). Our results show that Ni-B and Ni-S interactions are more favored […]
In the FREEME project, Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations continue to play a key role in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the etching of ABS substrates by piranha solution. Building on previous work, IDENER structured the etching process into three […]
Plating on Plastics (PoP) using external electric potential is practically infeasible since most plastics are non-conductive. The current technologies utilize hexavalent chromium (carcinogenic and highly toxic) and Palladium (Critical Raw Material) revealing significant concerns for the replacement of existing technologies […]
