Abstract
The resistivity behaviour of high porosity nickel foam as a function of por osity has been investigated experimentally. The results were compared with a number of empirical and theoretical models. It was found that a new model based on structural properties gave the closest fit to the experimental da ta. This provides a convenient means of controlling the resistivity of poro us metals in production and thus enables manufacture of better porous elect rodes. MST/4371. (C) 2000 IoM Communications Ltd.
