The invention relates to a method for chemically plating
nickel on the surface of carbon
fiber. The invention aims to solve the problem that the existing method for chemically plating the
nickel on the surface of the carbon
fiber causes environment
pollution, is unstable in activation fluid, complex in operation, and low in plating layer bonding intensity. The method comprises the following steps of: 1, firstly, removing glue and oil from the surface of the carbon
fiber; 2, soaking in concentrated
nitric acid for coarsening, then washing by
distilled water under the help of
ultrasound, and finally
drying into constant weight, so that the cleaned and coarsened carbon fiber can be obtained; 3, firstly, soaking the obtained product in the activation fluid, then washing by
distilled water and soaking in
sodium borohydride solution to be reduced, and finally rewashing by
distilled water, so that the
activated carbon fiber can be obtained; and 4, soaking into chemical
nickel-plating liquid, withdrawing, and washing by distilled water, and then
drying into constant weight, so that the nickel can be chemically plated on the surface of the carbon fiber. The method for is mainly used for chemically plating the nickel on the surface of the carbon fiber.
