With respect to step (1), fig. 1 shows a flowchart of an exemplary method of forming a metal mesh according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a UV curable layer, a Pd nanoparticle layer, and a water-soluble protective layer are sequentially formed on one surface of a substrate by sequentially coating the UV curable material, an electroless copper plating catalyst as described above, and a protective layer material on the surface of the substrate.
For the UV curable material as the first layer (or referred to as the base layer), the UV curable material may be a positive photoresist or a negative photoresist. In one embodiment, the positive photoresist may preferably include a resin material soluble in a developing solution after exposure, and the negative photoresist may preferably include a resin material insoluble in a developing solution after exposure.

The Pd nanoparticle layer as the second layer is the electroless copper plating catalyst of the present invention, and is the key to the technique of forming a metal mesh on a flexible substrate of the present invention. Since the components, contents, etc. of the electroless copper plating catalyst of the present invention have been described in detail in the foregoing section, the features of the electroless copper plating catalyst will not be described in detail in this section to avoid unnecessary redundancy.
The protective layer material as the third layer is mainly used for protection in the exposure stage, and is washed away by the developing solution in the developing stage. According to the present invention, the protective layer material may be performed using a protective layer material that is conventional in the art. In a preferred embodiment, the protective layer material may be a water soluble material to enable it to be dissolved in an aqueous developer solution during the development stage.
According to the present invention, the three coating materials may be preferably applied by wet coating, i.e., a UV curable material, an electroless copper plating catalyst, and a protective layer material in the form of a liquid or solution may be sequentially coated on one surface of the substrate.
With respect to the step (2), the substrate coated with the UV curable material, the electroless copper plating catalyst, and the protective layer material in this order is exposed to ultraviolet rays with a mask having a desired pattern disposed therebetween, thereby forming a desired pattern on the substrate. Subsequently, in the developing process, as described above, the UV curable material and the protective layer material that are not cured may be removed in the developing process.
For step (3), since the protective layer material is removed, and the palladium nanoparticle layer is at the uppermost layer, it can be used as a catalyst for copper plating, so this step only needs to perform copper plating, for example, electroless copper plating, on the pattern, thereby forming the required metal grid.
In another aspect, the present invention also provides a metal grid touch sensor, the metal grid of which is formed by the method of forming a metal grid as described above.
In conclusion, the electroless copper plating catalyst provided by the invention has excellent catalytic activity, and when the electroless copper plating catalyst provided by the invention is used (particularly when the catalyst contains a polyolefin hyper-dispersant), a metal copper grid line is formed, so that the electroless copper plating catalyst has the advantages of reducing the plating start time of a metal grid in an electroless copper plating process, reducing the line width of the metal copper grid line and the like, and has higher practicability; the electroless copper plating catalyst has excellent stability, and can be placed at normal temperature for a longer time without precipitation.

Example 2
Copper plating was carried out in a similar manner to example 1, except that a copper plating catalyst was prepared as follows: mixing and heating 90% of solvent, 4% of palladium acetate and 6% of dispersing agent B according to the mass components to 105 ℃, stirring for 2 hours, mixing the obtained mixed solution with pure water and surfactant to obtain the palladium-containing nanoparticle catalyst coating, wherein the solvent is ethyl lactate, the B is hyper-dispersant PVP K30, and the surfactant is fluorine-containing surfactant.

Test example
Three groups of copper metal grid samples prepared according to the procedure of example 1, named as example 1-1, example 1-2 and example 1-3, were measured for the line width of the copper metal grid under a 2.5D two-dimensional manual image measuring instrument.
Three groups of copper metal grid samples prepared according to the procedure of example 2, named as example 2-1, example 2-2 and example 2-3, were measured for the line width of the copper metal grid under a 2.5D two-dimensional manual image measuring instrument.
Three groups of metallic copper grid samples prepared according to the procedure of example 3, named as example 3-1, example 3-2 and example 3-3, were measured for the line width of the metallic copper grid under a 2.5D two-dimensional manual image measuring instrument.
The data of the developed line width average value before copper plating and the metal copper grid line width average value after copper plating of the above 9 groups of samples are shown in the following tables 1 to 2 and fig. 3 to 11.

Figure BDA0003256649010000091
TABLE 2 average line widths after copper plating
Figure BDA0003256649010000092
As can be seen from the data in tables 1 and 2, the samples prepared from examples 1-3 each achieved narrower developed line widths and copper metal grid line widths. In particular, the sample prepared in example 3 had the narrowest wire width of the copper metal gridlines, with the developed wire widths being close. This fully confirms that the chemical catalyst provided by the present invention has the advantage of reducing the line width of the copper metal mesh lines when the copper metal mesh lines are prepared by the above method, has high practicability, and is excellent particularly when the hyperdispersant comprises a polyolefin hyperdispersant such as PVP K30.
Meanwhile, the catalyst prepared in example 1 can be placed at normal temperature for 4 days without precipitation, and the catalyst prepared in example 3 can be placed at normal temperature for 10 days without precipitation, and still has good catalytic activity. Thus, it was confirmed that the electroless copper plating catalyst of the present invention has excellent stability and can be left at normal temperature for a longer period of time without precipitation.
In addition, fig. 2 shows the copper metal grid samples prepared in example 1 and example 3, wherein the samples are magnified by 20 times, the copper metal grid sample prepared in example 3 can be plated after being plated with copper for 5 seconds, and the copper metal grid sample prepared in example 1 can be plated with copper for 30 seconds, which confirms that the catalyst prepared in example 3 is more excellent in activity.
As shown in fig. 3 to 5, for the samples prepared in example 1, the difference between the developed line width and the copper-plated line width was about 1.6 μm, i.e., the difference between the copper-plated line width and the developed line width was small.
As shown in fig. 6 to 8, for the samples prepared in example 2, the difference between the developed line width and the copper-plated line width was about 1.9 μm, i.e., the difference between the copper-plated line width and the developed line width was small.
As shown in fig. 9 to 11, for the samples prepared in example 3, the difference between the developed line width and the copper-plated line width was about 0.4 μm, i.e., the difference between the copper-plated line width and the developed line width was very small.
As shown in fig. 12, a coated sample prepared from the catalyst prepared in example 3 was exposed to light using a photomask with a design line width of 1.25 μm and then subjected to development copper plating, and the minimum line width of the copper grid line was 1.5 μm, which shows that the novel electroless copper plating catalyst of the present invention has a more catalytic property and is also useful for reducing the line width after copper plating.
As shown in fig. 13, a coated sample prepared from the catalyst prepared in example 3 was attached to a copper mesh wire using a 3M 610 adhesive tape after copper plating, pressed with a finger until the tape was completely attached, and then the tape was quickly peeled off without the copper wire falling off, which proved that the adhesion after copper plating was good.
