THE EFFECT OF VISCOSITY OF SOLUTIONS AND COMPLEXATION ON REDUCTION OFNICKEL IN POROUS POLYPROPYLENE MATRIX

Under conditions of increased viscosity of glycerol-containing solutio ns of reagents and simultaneous binding of nickel ions into a complex compound, specific features of the reduction of nickel in porous PP ma trix were studied. Depending on the type of matrix, the thickness of m etallic layer in the composite was varied from 3 to 70 mu m. The compo sites prepared on the basis of glycerol-containing solutions were char acterized by small dimensions of metallic grains and uniform distribut ion within the metallic layer.
