Compressive Response of Polyurethane Open-Cell Foam with Electrodeposited Copper Coatings
Abstract:
Mechanical response of polyurethane open-cell foam with electrodeposited copper coatings under compressive loads is investigated via experimental characterization. Commercially available open-cell polyurethane foam specimens are copper deposited using electroless and electro-deposition techniques. Thickness and composition of the coating are controlled by varying the deposition time to 30, 60 and 90 minutes. Micrographs of the coated foam structure show that the coating thickness is higher at the outer surface, and the averaged thickness linearly depends on the deposition time. The coated foam exhibits a stiffer compressive response than that of the uncoated one. When unloaded, the copper coating layers fracture at the center of foams ligaments, and fall off from the foam structure.
