en گروه سطح پوشش و خوردگی Surface Coatings and Corrosion Research Paper Research Paper The effects of anodizing condition and post treatment on the growth of nickel nanowires, were investigated. A two-step anodizing process was applied in phosphoric and oxalic acid solution. Nickel electrochemical plating was applied to fill Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) pores. For pore filling enhancement, AAO surfaces were treated by silver predeposition. After electroplating, aluminum and oxide layer of some specimens were removed. The results showed that silver preplating increases the pore filling and as the applied voltage becomes higher, the pores diameter decreases. anodizing, nanopores, aluminum oxide, deposition 0 0 http://ijmse.iust.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-118-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh taherm@student.chalmers.se 180031947532846001179 180031947532846001179 Yes Chalmers University of Technology seyed Mohammad ali Boutorabi boutorabi@iust.ac.ir 180031947532846001180 180031947532846001180 No Iran University of Science and Technology Asghar Arab 180031947532846001181 180031947532846001181 No Advanced Material Research Center, Iran University of Science and Technology,
