Abstract

1398161 Electroless plating of plastics WESTERN ELECTRIC CO Inc 13 June 1972 [14 June 1971] 27558/72 Heading C7F Metal is deposited on a polymer by roughening the surface of the polymer, exposing the roughened surface to a sensitizer, activating the sensitized surface, healing the activated surface with a vapour of a healing agent and exposing the healed surface to an electroless bath to electrolessly deposit the metal upon the healed surface. The polymer may be a polyester, a polymide or a methylmethacrylate polymer. The roughening may be carried out by etching or mechanically. Examples of suitable etchants are given. Preferred healing agents are acetone for polyesters, polyimides, and methylene chloride for polymethylmethacrylate. In a typical Example a polyethylene terephthalate film is chemically roughened by emulsion in concentrated sulphuric acid, rinsed, immersed in an aqueous positive photo-conductor solution comprising 1% SnCl 4 À5H 2 O and 0.5% SnCl 2 À5H 2 O, rinsed, exposed through a quartz mask to ultraviolet radiation, immersed in an aqueous solution comprising 0.5g/PdCl 2 /litre of solution forming reduced metal, i.e. Pd. The Pd deposited film is then exposed to the vapour of refluxing acetone and then immersed in an electroless copper plating bath to form an electroless copper deposit on the surface of the film.
