Novel electroless deposited corrosion — resistant and anti-bacterial NiP–TiNi nanocomposite coatings by Fayyad E.M.

“…The addition of TiNi nanoparticles into the NiP matrix leads to the transformation of the amorphous structure of the as-plated NiP into a semi-crystalline one. The microhardness of the composite coating significantly enhances with increasing the TiNi concentration up to 0.4 g L−1 and further improvement takes place after the heat treatment. …”
