Part 1. Bibliography

Editor's Note: This is Part 1 of a four-part article consisting of the full report of AES Research Project #3, Adhesion of Electrodeposits, done at the University of Michigan in the mid-1940s, following the end of World War II. It consists of the complete bibliography compiled during the project. A printable version of this section can be downloaded by clicking HERE.

The first report on this project appeared in the February 1945 issue of The Monthly Review [not published in the Serial Report – Ed.]. In that report, it was indicated that a thorough survey was being made of the published material on this subject, and a brief summary was given of the general nature of the articles and information covered to that date. It might be stated here that the remarks made then hold equally well for all published material uncovered since then. Much assistance has been rendered by members who have sent in copies of bibliographies from their own files. These were carefully checked against our own and some additions were made in this way. Readers are urged to submit any additional references known to them.

Another source which it was felt might produce information of real value is the unpublished experience and private files of the members of the Society and others engaged in electroplating. With this in mind, a circular letter was prepared, copies of which were distributed to every member through the secretaries of the various local Branches. In addition, about 150 personal letters have been written to men in the electroplating and related fields requesting contributions from their experiences. An analysis of all information gathered in this manner will be presented in a later report.

Some of the papers in the following bibliography are devoted practically entirely to a study of methods for measuring the adhesion of electrodeposits, some contain rather extensive information on this subject along with other material, but in more papers the subject of adhesion is merely incidental, and the only connection with adhesion may consist in stating the methods used.

The arrangement of the references is according to years and alphabetically for each year. All of the material contained in these references has been thoroughly analyzed and will be presented in organized form in subsequent papers.
