SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the feasibility of electroplating paper without damaging it, specifically exploring the use of conductive materials like graphite and the challenges involved. Participants suggest that while traditional electroplating methods may not be suitable due to the risk of paper disintegration, alternatives such as vacuum deposition could be viable. Techniques for applying graphite and controlling current during the electroplating process are also discussed, along with the potential for using cotton paper as a substrate. Overall, the conversation highlights the innovative approaches and experimentation required to achieve successful electroplating on paper.
