[Table] Here, what is sensitizing?
After degreasing the surface of the material to be plated, a relatively strong reducing agent such as a mixed solution of stannous chloride and hydrochloric acid is adsorbed onto the surface. Activation is a process in which a liquid containing noble metal ions, For example, a sensitized material to be plated is immersed in a mixed aqueous solution of palladium chloride and hydrochloric acid, and noble metal ions are reduced and precipitated on the surface by the action of the adsorbed reductant, such as stannous ions, due to the sensitization. This is a process for depositing plating using the catalytic action of precious metals and improving the adhesion of the plating layer. In the above method, since the reaction of reduction and precipitation of noble metal ions is often not completed, the steps from sensitization to activation are repeated two or three times to ensure activation. However, even if repeated many times, the precipitation of precious metals is often insufficient. Therefore, after activation, immersion in a reducing solution and then immersion in a bath of noble metal salts is performed to reduce the catalytic noble metals. A method has been proposed in which it is attached by (For example, JP-A-50-148238) The steps of this method are as follows.

[Table] When these methods are applied to electroless plating of non-metallic fibers, for example, when using the method disclosed in JP-A-50-148238, the precipitation of precious metals becomes uneven, and evenly spreads over the entire circumference of the fibers. It is not possible to produce plating with uniform thickness. In addition, since all of the above methods utilize the reduction reaction of ions in the liquid, in order to apply them to non-metallic fibers with smooth surfaces such as glass fibers and alumina fibers, it is necessary to The surface must be roughened strongly. However, if the surface is too roughened, especially in the case of ceramic fibers, there is a problem in that the fiber strength is significantly reduced. In order to solve these problems, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies on the method of adhering noble metals in the activation process, and as a result, we have developed a method for thermally decomposing noble metal compounds that can provide activation on the fiber surface. By firmly adhering or bonding the secondary oxide onto the fibers, and by immersing the fibers in an aqueous solution of the noble metal compound or a solution of a low boiling point solvent and drying, the noble metal compound can be evenly attached to the surface of each fiber. The inventors discovered that noble metals or lower oxides of noble metals after thermal decomposition can be evenly attached or bonded, and that a strong plating with an even and uniform thickness can be produced, leading to the completion of the present invention. . That is, the present invention provides a method for producing electroless plating on the surface of nonmetallic fibers, in which the nonmetallic fibers are immersed in a solvent containing a noble metal compound having catalytic ability, dried, and then heat-treated. On non-metallic fibers, the oxide is firmly attached or bonded to the fibers and then immersed in an electroless plating bath of the metal or the alloy to form a plating layer of the metal or the alloy. A method of producing metal plating is provided. The present invention will be explained in more detail below. In the method of the present invention, non-metallic fibers that have been degreased and moistened in a conventional manner are immersed in a solution of a noble metal compound, dried, and then heat treated to produce metal plating on the non-metallic fibers by conventional electroless plating. The steps of the method of the present invention are as follows.

[Table] Examples of noble metals with catalytic ability used in the method of the present invention include palladium, platinum, and gold. As for the form of the noble metal compound, it is preferable that it is easily dissolved in water or a low boiling point solvent, decomposes at a relatively low temperature, and changes into a metal or its lower oxide, and chlorides, nitrides, hydroxides, etc. are preferable. . The non-metallic fibers used in the present invention may be fibers of any material as long as they have a heat resistance temperature of at least 300°C or higher. For example, carbon fiber, silicon carbide fiber, alumina fiber,
This method is particularly effective for glass fibers. The fibers to be treated may be in the form of continuous fibers, long fibers, or short fibers, and may be in the form of knitted fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, or the like. However,
The present invention can be applied without any limitation to the fiber diameter of these nonmetallic fibers or the number of filaments in the fiber bundle. In the method of the present invention, these fiber bundles are immersed in a solution of the noble metal compound, dried, and then placed in air or an atmosphere of nitrogen, argon, etc.
Heat treatment is performed at a temperature range of 300 to 800°C, preferably 300 to 600°C, to decompose and precipitate noble metals or lower oxides of noble metals on the fibers. Lower limit of heat treatment temperature
300℃ is the temperature at which the noble metal compound deposited by immersion is heated to become a noble metal or a lower oxide of a noble metal, and is insolubilized so that it does not melt into the plating bath during plating. . Therefore, when a compound with a high decomposition temperature is selected, the heat treatment temperature must be increased. In addition, when the temperature exceeds 800℃, oxidation of precious metals progresses.
Since it becomes a stable oxide, the catalytic activity will be significantly reduced. Therefore, when increasing the heat treatment temperature, it is necessary to lower the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere during firing. The amount of deposited noble metal or lower oxide of noble metal in the method of the present invention can be changed by changing the concentration of the noble metal compound solution. The noble metal compound is uniformly dispersed and attached to the fiber surface in the form of particles of about 0.01 to 0.5μ during the firing process, but the amount of the noble metal compound attached is such that the total surface area of these particles is 0.5 of the surface of the fiber. % or more. If the surface area occupied by the adhered particles is less than 0.5%, the plating precipitation reaction will be localized, making it impossible to achieve metal plating with a uniform thickness. By immersing the fibers treated in this way in an electroless plating bath, the noble metals or lower oxides of noble metals that are uniformly dispersed and attached or bonded to the fibers become active sites, and each part becomes active. At the same time, a precipitation reaction occurs, producing metal plating with uniform thickness and no uneven coating. In the conventional method, there was a drawback that the formation of active sites was uneven, resulting in the formation of plating spots or plating on fiber aggregates, but the present invention eliminates these drawbacks, and at the same time, the sensitization step is omitted. It has the advantage that electroless plating can be applied continuously on fibers. Therefore, according to the present invention, mass production is possible and the process is easy to manage, so that the plating thickness can be uniformly applied to the fibers while controlling the plating thickness. EXAMPLES Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Example 1 A glass fiber bundle (E glass fiber, manufactured by Nippon Glass Fiber Co., Ltd.) with a fiber diameter of 16 μm and 2000 filaments was used.
After heating in an electric furnace at 400℃ for 1 minute to volatilize the sizing agent, it was immersed in a 0.1wt% aqueous solution of palladium nitrate, the excess adhering solution was squeezed out with a roller, air-dried, and then heated in an electric furnace at 400℃ again. Palladium or a lower oxide of palladium was baked onto the fiber by heating at 400°C for 30 seconds. This fiber was plated with nickel using an electroless plating method. Nickel's electroless plating has a bath composition of NiCl 2 6H 2 O 30g/, ethylenediamine 60g/, NaOH 40g/,
When fibers baked with palladium or lower oxides of palladium were immersed in a plating bath containing 0.5 to 0.6 g of NaBH 4 and 0.1 g of TlNO 3 for 30 seconds at pH 14 and bath temperature of 90°C, 0.2 μm of nickel was deposited on the fibers. I was able to plate it evenly with a thickness of . Example 2 Fiber diameter 15μm, number of filaments 200 Tokkosho
The alumina fibers described in No. 51-12736 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-13768 were soaked in a 0.05wt% aqueous solution of palladium nitrate, the excess adhering solution was squeezed out with a roller, and after drying, the fibers were placed in an electric furnace at 600℃ for 30 minutes. After baking palladium or a lower oxide of palladium, the bath composition was CuSO 4 0.05 mol/l, EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) 0.12 mol/l,
The alumina fibers treated as above were placed in a plating bath containing 0.008 mol of NaCN and 80 mg of NaBH 4 at 25℃ for 30 minutes.
When immersed for a second, the fibers were coated with copper to a thickness of 0.5 μm. On the other hand, in order to plate the surface of alumina fiber with copper using a conventional method, the sensitization and activation steps were repeated twice according to the steps shown at the beginning of this specification. , in the above composition bath
When immersed at 25°C for 3 minutes, plating precipitation was localized, and although some parts were thickly coated, some parts were not coated at all. That is, it has been found that if the active sites are not uniformly attached, local precipitation reactions proceed and uniform plating cannot be obtained.
