IONMET
Application of ionic liquids to metal finishing and printed circuit manufacture
IONMET is exploring the use of ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents as electrolytes in a wide range of metal finishing processes of great importance to the surface finishing and printed circuit manufacturing sectors.
This exciting new technology has the potential to significantly enhance the capability of SME manufacturing companies in surface finishing and printed circuit manufacturing. Research
and industrial scale-up results will be presented.
