本発明1のコロイド触媒液の調製手順としては、上記可溶性ニッケル塩(A)を含む溶液と、この溶液とは別途に調製された上記還元剤(B)を含む溶液とを混合してコロイド粒子を生成することが重要である。
可溶性ニッケル塩(A)と還元剤(B)を先に混合すると、ニッケルイオンが還元されて金属ニッケルが析出してしまい、成分(D)が触媒液中で有機的に機能しない恐れがあるからである。
従って、当該触媒液を調製する際には、還元剤からニッケルイオンに電子を円滑に供与するため、還元剤の溶液を可溶性ニッケル塩(及び水溶性ポリマー)の含有溶液に時間をかけて緩やかに滴下して製造することを基本とする。例えば、5〜50℃(好ましくは10〜40℃)の還元剤溶液をニッケル塩溶液に滴下して20〜1200分間(好ましくは30〜300分間)撹拌し、触媒液を調製する。尚、触媒液の調製では、可溶性ニッケル塩の溶液を還元剤の液に滴下することを排除するものではない。

The catalyst solution of the present invention 1 is a catalyst solution obtained by mixing the component (A) and the component (B) in a state where the above component (D) coexists with either the component (A) or the component (B). is there.
As a procedure for preparing the colloidal catalyst solution of the present invention 1 , a solution containing the soluble nickel salt (A) and a solution containing the reducing agent (B) prepared separately from this solution are mixed and colloidal particles are prepared. Is important to generate.
If the soluble nickel salt (A) and the reducing agent (B) are mixed first, the nickel ions are reduced and metallic nickel is precipitated, and the component (D) may not function organically in the catalyst solution. Is.
Therefore, when preparing the catalyst solution, in order to smoothly donate electrons from the reducing agent to the nickel ions, the solution of the reducing agent is slowly added to the solution containing the soluble nickel salt (and the water-soluble polymer) over time. Basically, it is produced by dropping. For example, a reducing agent solution at 5 to 50 ° C. (preferably 10 to 40 ° C.) is added dropwise to the nickel salt solution and stirred for 20 to 1200 minutes (preferably 30 to 300 minutes) to prepare a catalyst solution. The preparation of the catalyst solution does not exclude dropping the solution of the soluble nickel salt into the solution of the reducing agent.
In the catalyst solution of the present invention, the nickel colloidal particles produced from the soluble nickel salt by the action of the reducing agent are fine particles having a suitable average particle size of 1 to 250 nm, preferably 1 to 120 nm, and more preferably 1 to 100 nm.
When the average particle size of the nickel colloidal particles is 250 nm or less, when the non-conductive substrate is immersed in the catalyst solution, the colloidal particles enter the dents on the fine uneven surface of the substrate and are densely adsorbed or caught. It can be presumed that this promotes the addition of nickel colloidal nuclei to the surface of the substrate.

本発明3は、上記ニッケルコロイド触媒液を用いた無電解メッキ方法であり、次の3つの工程を順次組み合わせてなる。
(a)吸着促進工程
(b)触媒付与工程
(c)無電解ニッケル又はニッケル合金メッキ工程
上記吸着促進工程(a)はいわば(b)の触媒付与の前処理工程であり、ノニオン系界面活性剤、カチオン系界面活性剤、アニオン系界面活性剤、両性界面活性剤よりなる群から選ばれた吸着促進剤の少なくとも一種の含有液に非導電性基板を浸漬する工程であり、基板を界面活性剤の含有液に接触させることで基板表面の濡れ性を高めて触媒活性を増強し、次工程でのニッケルコロイド粒子の吸着を促進するものである。
吸着促進工程では、非導電性基板を界面活性剤の含有液を接触させることが必要であるため、液に浸漬させることが基本であるが、含有液を基板に噴霧したり、刷毛で塗布するなどの処理でも差し支えない。
The present invention 3 is an electroless plating method using the nickel colloidal catalyst solution, which is a combination of the following three steps in sequence.
(A) Adsorption promotion step (b) Catalyst application step (c) Electrolytic nickel or nickel alloy plating step The adsorption promotion step (a) is, so to speak, a pretreatment step for catalyst application of (b), and is a nonionic surfactant. This is a step of immersing the non-conductive substrate in a liquid containing at least one of an adsorption accelerator selected from the group consisting of a cationic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, and an amphoteric surfactant. By contacting with the liquid containing the above, the wettability of the substrate surface is enhanced, the catalytic activity is enhanced, and the adsorption of nickel colloidal particles in the next step is promoted.
In the adsorption promotion step, since it is necessary to bring the non-conductive substrate into contact with the liquid containing the surfactant, it is basically immersed in the liquid, but the liquid contained is sprayed on the substrate or applied with a brush. There is no problem with processing such as.

本発明5に示すように、吸着を促進する見地から、正電荷を帯びたカチオン系や両性界面活性剤が好適であり、特にカチオン系界面活性剤が好ましい。また、カチオン系界面活性剤に少量のノニオン系界面活性剤を併用すると、吸着促進効果がさらに増す。
本発明1の触媒液において、可溶性ニッケル塩に還元剤を作用させて生じるニッケルコロイド粒子はゼータ電位がマイナスであるため、例えば、非導電性基板をカチオン性界面活性剤で接触処理すると、基板がプラス電荷を帯び易く、次工程におけるニッケルコロイド粒子の基板への吸着効率が増す。
吸着促進工程での界面活性剤の具体例は、前記本発明1の触媒液において述べた界面活性剤の記述の通りである。
界面活性剤の含有量は0.05〜100g/Lであり、好ましくは0.5〜50g/Lである。当該吸着促進工程の処理温度は15〜70℃程度、浸漬時間は0.5〜20分間程度が好ましい。
尚、上記吸着促進工程(a)の前に、予備処理として、基板をエッチング溶液に浸漬して、表面を粗面化するエッチングを行うことが好ましい(本発明4参照)。
As shown in the present invention 5 , positively charged cationic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants are preferable from the viewpoint of promoting adsorption, and cationic surfactants are particularly preferable. Further, when a small amount of nonionic surfactant is used in combination with the cationic surfactant, the adsorption promoting effect is further increased.
In the catalyst solution of the present invention 1, the nickel colloidal particles produced by reacting the soluble nickel salt with a reducing agent have a negative zeta potential. Therefore, for example, when a non-conductive substrate is contact-treated with a cationic surfactant, the substrate becomes It tends to be positively charged, and the adsorption efficiency of nickel colloidal particles on the substrate in the next step is increased.
Specific examples of the surfactant in the adsorption promotion step are as described in the surfactant solution of the present invention 1.
The content of the surfactant is 0.05 to 100 g / L, preferably 0.5 to 50 g / L. The treatment temperature of the adsorption promotion step is preferably about 15 to 70 ° C., and the immersion time is preferably about 0.5 to 20 minutes.
Prior to the adsorption promotion step (a), it is preferable to immerse the substrate in an etching solution and perform etching to roughen the surface as a preliminary treatment (see the present invention 4).

吸着促進工程(a)を終えた非導電性基板は純水で洗浄した後、乾燥し、或いは乾燥することなく、次の触媒付与工程(b)に移行する。
触媒付与工程では、上記ニッケルコロイド触媒液に非導電性基板を浸漬して、基板表面上にニッケルコロイドを吸着させる。
当該触媒液の液温は15〜95℃、好ましくは15〜70℃、浸漬時間は0.1〜20分程度、pHは3〜11であり、浸漬処理に際しては、基板を触媒液に静置状態で浸漬すれば充分であるが、撹拌や揺動を行っても良い。
また、当該触媒付与工程(b)と次の無電解メッキ工程(c)の間に、非導電性基板を酸溶液に浸漬して洗浄処理する活性化工程(b-1)を付加することが好ましい。これにより、触媒活性を効果的に保持して、次の無電解メッキ工程で皮膜形成を円滑に促進できる。
The non-conductive substrate that has completed the adsorption promotion step (a) is washed with pure water and then dried or not dried, and then the process proceeds to the next catalyst application step (b).
In the catalyst application step, the non-conductive substrate is immersed in the nickel colloid catalyst solution to adsorb the nickel colloid on the surface of the substrate.
The temperature of the catalyst solution is 15 to 95 ° C., preferably 15 to 70 ° C., the immersion time is about 0.1 to 20 minutes, the pH is 3 to 11, and the substrate is allowed to stand in the catalyst solution during the immersion treatment. It is sufficient to immerse in the state, but stirring or shaking may be performed.
Further, an activation step (b-1) of immersing the non-conductive substrate in an acid solution for cleaning treatment may be added between the catalyst application step (b) and the next electroless plating step (c). preferable. As a result, the catalytic activity can be effectively maintained, and film formation can be smoothly promoted in the next electroless plating step.

触媒液に浸漬した非導電性基板は純水で洗浄した後、乾燥し、或いは乾燥することなく、無電解ニッケル又はニッケル合金メッキ工程(c)に移行する。
無電解ニッケル又はニッケル合金メッキは、従来と同様に処理すれば良く、特段の制約はない。無電解ニッケル又はニッケル合金メッキ液の液温は一般に15〜100℃、好ましくは20〜90℃である。
ニッケル又はニッケル合金メッキ液の撹拌では、空気撹拌、急速液流撹拌、撹拌羽根等による機械撹拌等を使用することができる。
The non-conductive substrate immersed in the catalyst solution is washed with pure water and then moved to the electroless nickel or nickel alloy plating step (c) without being dried or dried.
Electroless nickel or nickel alloy plating may be treated in the same manner as before, and there are no particular restrictions. The liquid temperature of the electroless nickel or nickel alloy plating solution is generally 15 to 100 ° C, preferably 20 to 90 ° C.
For stirring the nickel or nickel alloy plating solution, air stirring, rapid liquid flow stirring, mechanical stirring with a stirring blade or the like can be used.

無電解ニッケル又はニッケル合金メッキ液の組成に特段の制限はなく、公知のメッキ液を使用できる。
無電解ニッケルメッキは、実質的にはニッケル−リン合金メッキ、或いはニッケル−ホウ素合金メッキである。

公知の無電解ニッケルメッキ液は、基本的に可溶性ニッケル塩と還元剤を主成分とし、これに必要に応じて錯化剤、pH調整剤、反応促進剤などの各種添加剤を含有する。
無電解メッキに際して、リン系の還元剤(例えば、次亜リン酸塩)を使用すると、ニッケル−リン合金メッキが皮膜が得られ、ホウ素系の還元剤を(例えば、ジメチルアミンボラン)使用すると、ニッケル−ホウ素合金皮膜が得られる。
可溶性ニッケル塩については、前記ニッケルコロイド触媒液で述べた通りである。

《触媒液の経時安定性とメッキ皮膜外観の総合評価》
ニッケルコロイド触媒液として本発明の合成系の水溶性ポリマーに替えて、天然系のポリマーであるゼラチンを用いた比較例1では、触媒液の経時安定性に劣り、もって触媒液との接触後に非導電性基板に無電解メッキを施してもニッケル皮膜の析出はなかった。
また、合成系の水溶性ポリマーに属するが、本発明で規定される所定のポリマーとは異なるエチレングリコールを用いた比較例2では、やはり触媒液の経時安定性に劣り、もって無電解メッキにおいてニッケル皮膜の析出はなかった。これにより、触媒液を経時安定化させるには、ニッケル塩に還元剤を含有するとともに、合成系の水溶性ポリマーのうち、ポリエチレンイミン類、ポリアミン類、ポリアクリルアミド類などの本発明で規定する所定のポリマーを選択することが必要であると判断できる。
さらに、本発明の合成系の水溶性ポリマーを含有しても、比較例3のように、含有量が適正範囲より少ない場合には当然にコロイド触媒液の経時安定性に劣り、無電解メッキに際してもメッキ欠けが認められた。
逆に、合成系の水溶性ポリマーが適正範囲を越える比較例4では、コロイド触媒液は安定であるが、無電解メッキ工程ではニッケル皮膜の析出はなかった。これは、コロイド系が過剰に安定し、活性が失われてしまうことが理由と推定される。
<< Comprehensive evaluation of catalyst solution stability over time and appearance of plating film >>
In Comparative Example 1 in which gelatin, which is a natural polymer, was used instead of the synthetic water-soluble polymer of the present invention as the nickel colloidal catalyst solution, the stability of the catalyst solution over time was inferior, and thus it was not after contact with the catalyst solution. No nickel film was deposited even when electroless plating was applied to the conductive substrate.
Further, in Comparative Example 2 using ethylene glycol which belongs to the synthetic water-soluble polymer but is different from the predetermined polymer defined in the present invention, the stability of the catalyst solution with time is also inferior, and nickel is obtained in electroless plating. There was no film precipitation. Thereby, in order to stabilize the catalyst solution over time, a reducing agent is contained in the nickel salt, and among the synthetic water-soluble polymers, polyethyleneimines, polyamines, polyacrylamides and the like specified in the present invention are prescribed. It can be determined that it is necessary to select the polymer of.
Further, even if the synthetic water-soluble polymer of the present invention is contained, the stability of the colloidal catalyst solution with time is naturally inferior when the content is less than the appropriate range as in Comparative Example 3, and electroless plating is performed. Also, chipping of plating was observed.
On the contrary, in Comparative Example 4 in which the synthetic water-soluble polymer exceeded the appropriate range, the colloidal catalyst solution was stable, but no nickel film was precipitated in the electroless plating step. It is presumed that this is because the colloidal system becomes excessively stable and loses its activity.

これに対して、先ず、吸着促進の予備処理をした後、ニッケル塩と還元剤と所定のコロイド安定剤を含む触媒液で触媒付与処理をし、次いで無電解ニッケルメッキを施した冒述の基準発明に基づく基準例では、触媒液の経時安定性の評価は良好(○)であり、無電解メッキで析出するニッケル皮膜の評価は◎であり、ムラがなく均一性に優れていた。
次いで、吸着促進の予備処理をした後、上記基準例のコロイド安定剤に替えて所定の水溶性ポリマーを含む触媒液で触媒付与処理をし、無電解ニッケルメッキを施した実施例1〜14では、触媒液の経時安定性の評価は上記基準例と同様にいずれも良好で、無電解メッキで析出するニッケル皮膜の評価は◎〜○であり、概ねムラがなく均一性に優れていた。
On the other hand, first, a preliminary treatment for promoting adsorption was performed, and then a catalyst solution containing a nickel salt, a reducing agent and a predetermined colloidal stabilizer was used to apply a catalyst, and then electroless nickel plating was performed. In the reference example based on the invention, the evaluation of the stability over time of the catalyst solution was good (◯), and the evaluation of the nickel film deposited by electroless plating was ⊚, and the uniformity was excellent without unevenness.
Next, in Examples 1 to 14 in which the adsorption promotion was pretreated, the catalyst was applied with a catalyst solution containing a predetermined water-soluble polymer instead of the colloidal stabilizer of the above standard example, and electroless nickel plating was performed. The evaluation of the stability over time of the catalyst solution was good as in the above standard example, and the evaluation of the nickel film precipitated by electroless plating was ⊚ to ◯, and there was almost no unevenness and excellent uniformity.

そこで、これら実施例1〜14について順次考察する。
先ず、実施例1〜14を上記比較例1に対比すると、水溶性ポリマーを含む触媒液で処理した後、無電解メッキでムラなく均一なニッケル皮膜を得るためには、天然系の水溶性ポリマーではなく、適正に選択された合成系の水溶性ポリマーを選択することが重要であると判断できる。
また、実施例1〜14を比較例2に対比すると、ムラがなく均一性に優れたニッケル皮膜を得るためには、合成系の水溶性ポリマーから任意に選択すれば良いというだけでは足りず、合成系ポリマー群の中から適正なポリマーを選択することの必要性が判断できる。
さらに、実施例1〜14を比較例3〜4に対比すると、ムラがなく均一性に優れたニッケル皮膜を得るためには、適正な合成系の水溶性ポリマーを選択することに加え、触媒液に対するポリマーの含有量を適正範囲に調整することの必要性が判断できる。
一方、無電解ニッケル−コバルト合金メッキを施した実施例14によれば、無電解皮膜がニッケル皮膜である実施例1〜13と同じく、無電解メッキで析出する皮膜がニッケル合金皮膜の場合であっても、均一でムラのない皮膜を形成できた。
Therefore, these Examples 1 to 14 will be considered one by one.
First, comparing Examples 1 to 14 with Comparative Example 1, a natural water-soluble polymer is used in order to obtain an even and uniform nickel film by electroless plating after treatment with a catalyst solution containing a water-soluble polymer. Instead, it can be judged that it is important to select a properly selected synthetic water-soluble polymer.
Further, when Examples 1 to 14 are compared with Comparative Example 2, in order to obtain a nickel film having no unevenness and excellent uniformity, it is not enough to arbitrarily select from synthetic water-soluble polymers. It can be judged that it is necessary to select an appropriate polymer from the synthetic polymer group.
Further, when Examples 1 to 14 are compared with Comparative Examples 3 to 4, in order to obtain a nickel film having no unevenness and excellent uniformity, in addition to selecting an appropriate synthetic water-soluble polymer, a catalyst solution is used. It can be determined that it is necessary to adjust the polymer content to an appropriate range.
On the other hand, according to Example 14 in which electroless nickel-cobalt alloy plating is applied, the film deposited by electroless plating is a nickel alloy film, as in Examples 1 to 13 in which the electroless film is a nickel film. However, a uniform and even film could be formed.

以下、実施例1〜14並びに参考例1〜4について詳細に検討する。その場合、実施例1を基本として他の実施例の評価を対比的に説明する。
先ず、その基本の実施例1はカチオン系界面活性剤であるジアリルアミンポリマーの4級アンモニウム塩を含む吸着促進剤で非導電性基板を予備処理し、硫酸ニッケルをニッケル塩とし、水素化ホウ素化合物を還元剤とし、水溶性ポリマーにPEIのEO付加物を選択した触媒液で触媒付与した後、無電解ニッケルメッキした例であるが、触媒液の経時安定性は良好で、建浴後1ケ月経過しても沈殿が生じたり、分解することはなく、また、無電解メッキで得られたニッケル皮膜は均一で析出ムラも認められなかった。即ち、コロイド触媒液の経時安定性とニッケルの皮膜外観の評価は基準例と同様に良好であった。
これに対して、参考例1はPEIのホモポリマーを用いた例であるが、触媒液の経時安定性の評価は実施例1に同じであったが、ニッケル皮膜にムラが認められ、ニッケルの皮膜外観の評価は実施例1に準じた結果であった。即ち、水溶性ポリマーにPEIを用いる場合、PEIのホモポリマーよりPEIのEO付加物を選択した方がニッケル皮膜の均一性が向上することが分かる。
実施例1を基本として、水溶性ポリマーをPEIのEO付加物に替えてアルデヒド変性ポリアクリルアミドを用いた実施例3では、実施例1と同じくニッケルの皮膜外観の評価は◎であった。これに対して、ポリアクリルアミドのホモポリマーを用いた参考例4では、触媒液の経時安定性の評価は実施例1に同じであったが、ニッケル皮膜にムラが認められ、ニッケルの皮膜外観の評価は上記実施例3に準じた結果であった。従って、上記PEIの場合と同じく、水溶性ポリマーにアクリルアミドを用いる場合、アクリルアミドのホモポリマーよりアクリルアミドのアルデヒド変性物を選択した方が、ニッケル皮膜の均一性が増すことが分かる。
また、実施例1を基本として、水溶性ポリマーをPEIのEO付加物に替えてジアリルアミンポリマーを用いた実施例2では、実施例1と同じくニッケルの皮膜外観の評価は◎であった。
Hereinafter, Examples 1 to 14 and Reference Examples 1 to 4 will be examined in detail. In that case, the evaluation of other examples will be described in comparison with the first embodiment.
First, in the basic Example 1, the electroless substrate is pretreated with an adsorption accelerator containing a quaternary ammonium salt of diallylamine polymer, which is a cationic surfactant, nickel sulfate is used as a nickel salt, and a boron hydride compound is used. This is an example of electroless nickel plating after catalyzing a water-soluble polymer with an EO adduct of PEI as a reducing agent with a selected catalyst solution, but the stability of the catalyst solution over time is good, and one month has passed since the bath was built. However, precipitation did not occur or decomposition occurred, and the nickel film obtained by electroless plating was uniform and no uneven precipitation was observed. That is, the stability over time of the colloidal catalyst solution and the evaluation of the appearance of the nickel film were as good as those of the reference example.
On the other hand, Reference Example 1 is an example using a PEI homopolymer. The evaluation of the temporal stability of the catalyst solution was the same as in Example 1, but unevenness was observed in the nickel film, and nickel was used. The evaluation of the appearance of the film was a result according to Example 1. That is, when PEI is used as the water-soluble polymer, it can be seen that the uniformity of the nickel film is improved by selecting the EO adduct of PEI rather than the homopolymer of PEI.
EXAMPLE 1 as the basis, in the third embodiment using the aldehyde-modified polyacrylamide instead of a water-soluble polymer in the EO adduct of PEI, also evaluation of the film appearance of nickel as in Example 1 was ◎. On the other hand, in Reference Example 4 using a polyacrylamide homopolymer, the evaluation of the stability over time of the catalyst solution was the same as in Example 1, but unevenness was observed in the nickel film, and the appearance of the nickel film appeared. The evaluation was the result according to the above-mentioned Example 3. Therefore, as in the case of PEI, when acrylamide is used as the water-soluble polymer, it can be seen that the uniformity of the nickel film is increased by selecting the aldehyde-modified product of acrylamide rather than the homopolymer of acrylamide.
Further, Example 1 as a basic, in Example 2 using the diallylamine polymer instead of a water-soluble polymer in the EO adduct of PEI, also evaluation of the film appearance of nickel as in Example 1 was ◎.

一方、実施例1を基本として、水溶性ポリマーにPEIのEO付加物ではなく、ポリビニルピロリドンを用いた参考例2、ポリビニルアルコールを用いた参考例3、ポリビニルイミダゾールを用いた実施例8では、ニッケルの皮膜外観の各評価は○であった。
実施例1を基本として、PEIのEO付加物のEOの付加モル数を順次増し、触媒液への含有量を低減した実施例5〜7では、共にニッケルの皮膜外観の各評価は◎であり、特に、含有量を実施例1より低減した実施例7(50g/L→10g/L)においても、皮膜外観の評価は◎であった。また、実施例1を基本として、PEIにEO及びプロピレンオキシド(PO)を付加した実施例13(含有量は実施例1と同じで、重量平均分子量Mwは実施例1の2倍(Mw=2500→5000))も同様に◎の評価であった。
この場合、前述したように、実施例5は活性化工程を省略した例であるが、ニッケルの皮膜外観の評価は実施例1と同じ◎であり、触媒付与後に活性化処理を施さず、直ちに無電解メッキを行っても、皮膜外観は実施例1と遜色がなかった。これにより、活性化処理を付加せず、本発明の必須工程である吸着促進、触媒付与及び無電解メッキを適正に行うことによっても、均一でムラのない皮膜が得られることが判断できる。
実施例2を基本として、ジアリルアミンポリマーの重量平均分子量を減少させ、含有量を増した実施例8、10では、共にニッケルの皮膜外観の各評価は◎であったが(実施例8、10参照)、当該ジアリルアミンポリマーの含有量を適正範囲内で低減し、重量平均分子量を増した実施例9(含有量=20g/L→8g/L、Mw=3万→20万)では皮膜外観の評価は○であった。
実施例1を基本として、ニッケル塩を増量した実施例11(0.1モル/L→0.3モル/L)、或いは還元剤の含有量を増量した実施例12(0.25モル/L→0.5モル/L)も実施例1と同じくニッケルの皮膜外観の各評価は◎であった。
他方、実施例1を基本として、無電解メッキ工程をニッケル皮膜からニッケル−コバルト合金皮膜に変えた実施例14では、触媒液の水溶性ポリマーがPEIのEO付加物で共通することから、ニッケル皮膜の場合と同じく、ニッケル合金皮膜の外観評価は◎であった。

On the other hand, based on Example 1, in Reference Example 2 in which polyvinylpyrrolidone was used instead of the EO adduct of PEI in the water-soluble polymer, Reference Example 3 in which polyvinyl alcohol was used, and Example 8 in which polyvinyl imidazole was used, nickel was used. Each evaluation of the film appearance of was ○.
Based on Example 1, in Examples 5 to 7 in which the number of moles of EO of the EO adduct of PEI was gradually increased and the content in the catalyst solution was reduced, each evaluation of the nickel film appearance was ⊚. In particular, even in Example 7 (50 g / L → 10 g / L) in which the content was reduced from that of Example 1, the evaluation of the film appearance was ⊚. Further, based on Example 1, EO and propylene oxide (PO) were added to PEI in Example 13 (the content is the same as in Example 1, and the weight average molecular weight Mw is twice that of Example 1 (Mw = 2500). → 5000)) was also evaluated as ◎.
In this case, as described above, Example 5 is an example in which the activation step is omitted, but the evaluation of the appearance of the nickel film is the same as in Example 1, ⊚, and the activation treatment is not performed immediately after the catalyst is applied. Even when electroless plating was performed, the appearance of the film was not inferior to that of Example 1. As a result, it can be determined that a uniform and even film can be obtained even by appropriately performing adsorption promotion, catalyst application, and electroless plating, which are essential steps of the present invention, without adding an activation treatment.
In Examples 8 and 10 in which the weight average molecular weight of the diallylamine polymer was decreased and the content was increased based on Example 2 , each evaluation of the nickel film appearance was ⊚ (see Examples 8 and 10). ), Evaluation of film appearance in Example 9 (content = 20 g / L → 8 g / L, Mw = 30,000 → 200,000) in which the content of the diallylamine polymer was reduced within an appropriate range and the weight average molecular weight was increased. Was ○.
Based on Example 1, Example 11 (0.1 mol / L → 0.3 mol / L) in which the amount of nickel salt was increased , or Example 12 (0.25 mol / L) in which the content of the reducing agent was increased. → 0.5 mol / L) was also evaluated as ⊚ in each evaluation of the appearance of the nickel film as in Example 1.
On the other hand, Example 1 as a base, nickel electroless plating process of nickel coatings - Example 14 was changed to a cobalt alloy film, since the water-soluble polymer of the catalyst solution is common EO adduct of PEI, nickel coating As in the case of, the appearance evaluation of the nickel alloy film was ◎.
