Hi Mike, If you are looking for an in-depth book on acid copper plating for circuit boards --I'm afraid it's not something that can be easily found. Lowenheim wrote a couple of classic books on general electroplating awhile back. "Electroplating" (ISBN 1 872422 03 9) is one of them. Still a pretty good read. There is a number of good fundamental books on electrochemistry -- probably an overkill. Then, there are plating industry periodicals: "Plating and Surface Finishing" and "Metal Finishing". Patent literature, which can be pretty useful if you have the time for that sort of thing. Finishing Publications out of UK www.finpubs.demon.co.uk/finpubs.htm offers some literature on plating including a CD-ROM, which seems to be a massive compilation of various publications on plating/finishing. Aside from that, because of proprietary nature of the chemistry, the technology on the market today is way ahead of what is in public domain. Depending on your particular area of interest I might have something in my collection that could be useful -- let me know off line. Regards. Eric Yakobson Alpha PC Fab "Michael D.

I'm primarily interested in electrolytic plating. Is there something that contains a good deal of information or is this something I'm going to be on safari for?
