This study uses Palladium-Polyvinyl Alcohol (Pd-PVA) as the catalyst for electroless nickel plating (ENP) on a non-conducting substrate to investigate its catalytic effect where a layer of graphene would also be used to form a conducting nanofilm the non-conducting substrate. The experiments conduct...
