The purpose of this work is to elucidate the factors affecting the codeposition of a-alumina particles with copper froman acid copper sulfate bath. The effect of current density and particle concentration in the bath on the amount of codepositeda-alumina were determined. In order to evaluate the surface-chemical properties of the particles, the zeta-potentialof a-alumina particles in the plating bath was determined by means of the streaming potential method. The amounts ofadsorbed Cu 2+ and SO2( from the plating bath were also determined. The amount of codeposited a-alumina particles wasfound to be greater than those reported in literature, in spite of the negative zeta-potential values of a-alumina. Thisindicates that the electrostatic interaction between the particles and the cathode is not the essential factor of the codepositionprocess. It is considered that the amount of adsorbed Cu 2+ on the a-alumina particle plays an important role in thecodeposition behavior.
