Electroplating Fundamentals

This lecture covers the fundamentals of electroplating, including the electrochemical series, electrode potentials, Nernst equation, current density distribution, mass transport, and the growth of electrodeposits. It also discusses different types of adhesives, such as epoxy, acrylics, polyurethanes, and polyimides, and their hardening mechanisms. The instructor explains the advantages and disadvantages of various hardening methods, such as solvent removal, cooling, and chemical reactions.
