Surinfection d’un kyste de la poche de Rathke, compliquée d’une méningite : une cause rare d’abcès hypophysaire

Electrolytic baths have been developed to obtain bright nickel–rich nickel–copper micrometric films with good mechanical properties and high reflectivity, valid as components of optical mirrors. As metal source, the developed baths contain nickel (II) sulfamate and copper (II) acetate. Citrate was used as buffer and complexing agent to favour the simultaneous electrodeposition of copper and nickel. The influence of citrate concentration, solution pH, [Ni(II)]/[Cu](II) ratio and applied potential on the composition was studied. In order to achieve constant composition throughout the deposit thickness, potentiostatic technique was selected. The optimization process was followed according to a simple factorial design. By adjusting the conditions, compact, uniform and fine grained nickel–copper (Ni–Cu) electrodeposits with high Ni percentages and low roughness were obtained. The deposits show mechanical properties suitable for electroforming. The optical properties (reflectivity and gloss) of the Ni–Cu films make them adequate to be elements of optical mirrors.
