A kind of on porous matrix electroless plating prepare the method for metallic membrane
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of on porous matrix the method for chemical plating metal film, to solve the problem of the final quality of coating of the uneven influence of electroless plating initial stage matrix surface metal deposition speed.
Background technology
The metallic membrane that with the porous material is matrix has purposes widely in fields such as gas delivery, electrochemistry, electronics, and film-forming method has electroless plating, plating, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapour deposition, thermospray or the like.Electrochemical plating only are applicable to conductive substrate material, and are subjected to the restriction of base shape; Though vapour deposition process reported in a large number, cost height, metal deposition efficient are low, only are suitable for preparing extremely thin metallic membrane, and require very high to the aperture and the surface smoothness of matrix; The metallic membrane of hot spray process preparation is thicker and inhomogeneous, and the film defective is more; Electroless plating is electroless plating or autocatalytic plating again, is under the situation of no impressed current, by chemical reaction reducing metal salt, simultaneously, the metal that reaction generates can also continue this chemical reaction of catalysis, thereby the growth that realizes metal level thickens, and forms the successive metallic membrane.Electroless plating almost can be on the matrix of different shape and material plated film, it has become the prefered method of preparation metallic membrane on the porous matrix material.Porous matrix material comprises porous ceramics, porous metal, sintered glass, porous polymer materials etc.
Electroless plating generally comprises several steps such as matrix cleaning, matrix surface activation, plated film, aftertreatment.Nonmetallic surface needs to deposit the layer of metal particulate in advance equably as catalyzer, and when electroless plating, metal will be deposited on these particulates like this, forms bigger metallic particles, joins each other up to them, in flakes film forming.Good activating process can make the metal particle particle diameter of generation little, is evenly distributed, strong adhesion.Activation method has many kinds, but mostly selects the catalyzer of palladium as matrix surface for use.Chang Yong activation method is for soaking the palladium method, promptly with Sn the most
2+As reductive agent and Pd
2+Reaction forms the particulate of palladium metal, simultaneously Sn
2+And Sn
4+Hydrolysis at matrix surface also can form one deck colloid, and the particulate of palladium is played fixed action.When carrying out electroless plating, if can not form metal level at matrix surface as early as possible, this active layer may be destroyed because of the erosion of plating bath, and the result can make the thickness of metal film inequality that plates out, even the alopecia areata phenomenon occurs.Therefore, initial stage in electroless plating, should accelerate the plated film process as far as possible, in case matrix surface forms successive coating, then can stop the erosion of plating bath to active layer, the thin metal layer of Xing Chenging is that the further growth of rete is laid a good foundation at first, and follow-up need prevent that speed of response is too fast and produce precipitation and get final product.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to have proposed for the problem of improving the final quality of coating of the uneven influence of prior art electroless plating initial stage matrix surface metal deposition speed a kind of on porous matrix electroless plating prepare the method for metallic membrane.
Technical scheme of the present invention is: coating temperature is one of key factor that influences the electroless plating quality, and the high more metal deposition speed of temperature is fast more.But cause the metal deposition excessive velocities and form loose precipitation but temperature is too high, these precipitations can be deposited on matrix surface, be suspended in the plating bath or be deposited on the coating bath, cause the plated film failure.Therefore, be difficult to accelerate the plating speed at plated film initial stage by improving temperature.In actually operating, for keeping temperature of reaction, usually adopt heating in water bath, but the transfer mode of its heat is again to matrix surface from the coating bath to the plating bath, and porous matrix has certain water regain, need the regular hour to heat it, so heating in water bath is unfavorable for causing fast electroless plating, especially in cold season.
The present invention utilizes porous matrix these characteristics of heat accumulation that can absorb water, and the matrix after the activation is heated in advance, makes its temperature be higher than normal electroless plating temperature.Can place hot water to be heated porous matrix, preferred 60~100 ℃ of preheating temperature.Like this, the matrix of heat contacts with plating bath one and can cause electroless plating rapidly, thereby form even, successive thin metal layer rapidly at matrix surface, for the further growth of subsequent film is laid a good foundation, avoid uneven coating effectively even the problem of alopecia areata occurred, improved the sticking power of metal level.Though the matrix of heat can be lowered the temperature by plating bath after immersing plating bath, contained hot water has certain heat accumulation effect in the porous matrix, and these heats are enough to guarantee that the incunabulum stage of plated film is smooth.
Concrete technical scheme of the present invention is:
A kind of on porous matrix the method for chemical plating metal film, it is characterized in that the matrix after will activating before the electroless plating puts into hot water preheating 5~30min of 60~100 ℃, and then put into the plating bath plated film.
Wherein said porous matrix is porous ceramics, sintered glass, porous polymer materials or porous metal.For can heat-retaining non-porous matrix,, adopt the art of this patent that effect is preferably also arranged as bulk or heavy-walled matrix.
The temperature of preferred above-mentioned substrate preheating is higher than 40~70 ℃ of the temperature of electroless plating.
Described plating bath is the transition metal plating bath.Preferred transition metal is palladium, silver, copper, nickel or nickel-phosphorus alloy.

Beneficial effect:
In fact, coating quality problem great majority all are because the activation of matrix and plated film initial stage are caused uneven causing, therefore, though the method for this patent has only increased a simple and easy to do pre-heating step before plated film, great effect is but arranged to improving coating quality and yield rate.
