The Ni\u2013poly(DPU) composite powder was characterized by the presence of polymer particles covered with an electrolytical amorphous-nanocrystalline nickel coating. The phase structure, chemical composition, morphology, and the distribution of elements was investigated. The chemical analysis showed that the powder contains 41.7% Ni, 16.4% C, 15.7% O, 8.2% P and 0.10% S. The other components were not determined (nitrogen and hydrogen). The phase analysis showed the presence of NiC phase. Composite powder particles are created as a result of the adsorption of Me ions on the fragmented polymer. The current flowing through the galvanic bath forces the flow of the particles. The foam particles with adsorbed nickel ions are transported to the cathode surface, where the Ni2+ is discharged. The presence of compound phosphorus in galvanic solution generates the formation of amorphous-nanocrystalline nickel, which covers the polymer particles. The formed nickel\u2013polymer composite powder falls to the bottom of the cell.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15113895","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,30]],"date-time":"2022-05-30T10:05:14Z","timestamp":1653905114000},"page":"3895","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Production of Electrolytic Composite Powder by Nickel Plating of Shredded Polyurethane Foam"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jolanta","family":"Niedba\u0142a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"\u0141ukasiewicz Research Network, Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals, Sowi\u0144skiego 5, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2440-1741","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Popczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Silesia, 75 Pu\u0142ku Piechoty 1A, 41-500 Chorz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Hawe\u0142ek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u0141ukasiewicz Research Network, Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals, Sowi\u0144skiego 5, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Szymon","family":"Orda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u0141ukasiewicz Research Network, Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals, Sowi\u0144skiego 5, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7210-2995","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hubert","family":"Ok\u0142a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Silesia, 75 Pu\u0142ku Piechoty 1A, 41-500 Chorz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4850-1608","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jadwiga","family":"Gabor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Silesia, 75 Pu\u0142ku Piechoty 1A, 41-500 Chorz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7054-700X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sebastian","family":"Stach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Silesia, 75 Pu\u0142ku Piechoty 1A, 41-500 Chorz\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6116-9510","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrzej S.","family":"Swinarew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Silesia, 75 Pu\u0142ku Piechoty 1A, 41-500 Chorz\u00f3w, Poland"},{"name":"Institute of Sport Science, The Jerzy Kukuczka Academy of Physical Education, Miko\u0142owska 72A, 40-065 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"431","DOI":"10.1080\/09243046.2014.901471","article-title":"Influence of thermal treatment on the corrosion resistance of electrolytic Zn-Ni+Ni composite coatings","volume":"24","author":"Wykpis","year":"2015","journal-title":"Adv.
