Abstract

The surface morphology and the degree of porosity of metal-polymer films deposited by the electrolytic method are studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy. Mathematical processing is performed, and the structure of the sample surfaces is analyzed using images obtained in the mode of secondary-electron recording. The volume-packing coefficients for heterogeneous coatings are determined using the XRF analysis data. The dependence of the surface structure and volume-packing coefficient of copper in the film on the polymer type and the coating thickness is established.
