Popis: In this study different type of composite coatings was obtained by electrodeposition using zinc as matrix and polymeric particles as disperse phase in zinc sulphate electrolyte. The effects of some electrodeposition parameters on the thickness and morphology of obtained composite coatings were analysed by optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) methods. Polymeric particles inclusion into zinc matrix was correlated with imposed electrodeposition parameters. It was observed that the thickness of the coatings is influenced by electrodeposition parameters. From the morphology of the coatings, it could be concluded that pure zinc has a regular surface with hexagonal crystals, while the composite coatings have fine surface structure. Also, the electrodeposition parameters influence the inclusion of the dispersed phase into metallic matrix that will influence further the different properties of the composite materials.
