Abstract
Nickel-Polyester samples were produced using polyester resin and metal lic particles of nickel. A scanning electron microscopy study shows th at the prepared surface produced from nickel particles dispersed in th e polyester and thermally treated consists of a porous network. Nickel -Polyester composites with resistivity values around 10(-1)-10(-3) Ohm cm have been analysed as potential oxygen evolution electrodes in an alkaline medium. The dependence of the electronic parameters on the mo rphological features of the nickel-polyester samples is evident from t he study carried out with samples prepared at different conditions.
