Abstract
Electrochemical formation of organic thin films and composite plating using surfactants with an azobenzene group are explained. These surfactants lose their dispersing ability by reduction, which enables formation of organic thin films and high particle content Ni/ceramic particle composite plating. Mechanisms of these formations are discussed based on adsorption behavior of these surfactants. Properties and applications of the organic thin films and the composite coatings are also discussed.
