Description

PLASTIC OBJECTS FOR METAL PLATING WITH IMPROVED PROPERTIES OF CONFORMATION DESCRIPTION | The invention relates to plastic sheets or sheets produced from a mixture of plastics comprising, based on the total weight of components A, B, C and D, which gives a total of 100% by weight, from 5 to 50% by weight of a thermoplastic polymer as component A, from 50 to 95% by weight of a metal powder with an average particle diameter of 0.01 to 100 μm (determined by the method defined in the description), wherein the normal electrode potential of the metal in acid solution is more negative than that of silver, as component B, 0 to 10% by weight of a dispersing agent as component C, and 0 to 40% by weight of fibrous or particle fillings or their mixtures as component D, where the tensile-to-rupture deformation of component A (determined by the method defined in the description) is greater by a factor of 1.1 to 100 than the tensile-to-rupture deformation of the plastics mixture comprising components A, B and, if present, C and D (determined by the method defined in the description), and wherein the tensile deformation of component A (determined by the method defined in FIG. description) is greater by a factor of 0.5 to 4 than the tensile strain of the mixture of plastics comprising components A, B, and, if present, C and D (determined by the method defined in the definition). The invention further relates to thermoplastic molding compositions for the production of these metallizable sheets or sheets, to a palletized material comprising these thermoplastic molding compositions, to sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers, and to molds, said sheets comprising sheets or sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers, and molds, to processes for the production of these articles, to the use of these articles, and also to EMI protective systems, such as absorbers, attenuators, or reflectors for electromagnetic radiation, sweepers of oxygen, components I electrically conductive, gas scavengers, and decorative parts comprising these articles. The plastics compositions comprising metallic powders are known and used in a wide variety of application sectors, and the same applies to metallized plastic sheets or metallized plastic molds. by way of example, JP-A 2003-193103 describes sheets of polymer filled with metallic powder as absorbents for electromagnetic radiation. WO 03/10226 describes single or multi-layered sheets, filled with metal as oxygen scavengers. The patent of E.U.A. No. 5,147,718 discloses multilayer plastic sheets with metal powder as suitable radar absorbers. In addition, plastic articles comprising metallic powder can be metallized by a currentless and / or electroplated method. Metallized plastic articles of this type can be used as electrical components, for example, since they are electrically conductive. In addition, they are widely used among other things in the decorative sector, since they have lower weight and lower production costs than articles made entirely of metal, while their appearance is identical. WO 86/02882, DE-A 1 521 152, and DE-A 1 615 786 describe the application of binder systems comprising iron and lacquer systems comprising iron to plastic products, and subsequently copper is deposited here by a method without current, and this is followed by metallization by a US patent method No. 6,410,847 teaches copper or nickel layers by a method without polymer injection molded fillers With regard to the mentioned sectors of application and for the formation of metallic layers coherently and firmly adherents, it is generally desired to maximize the content of metallic dust in the plastic. However, as the fill level rises there is usually an associated impairment of the mechanical properties of the plastic mix, and therefore at high fill levels there is inadequate tenacity, flexural strength, and forming ability, for example. The use of forming processes for production involving complex molding of highly filled semi-finished plastic product components, such as sheets, is therefore often subject to restriction or in fact impossible. There are also known processes for metallizing plastics where metallic powders are not necessarily present in the plastic. Although these processes substantially prevent the disadvantageous impediment of the mechanical properties of the plastic via high fill levels, a disadvantage in the production of these metallized articles is the complicated pretreatment required of the plastic surface via chemical or physical n gosification processes or etching, and / or applying layers that act as a primer or adhesion promoter and comprise noble metal, for example, these layers being essential for the deposition of coherent and firmly adherent metal layers. The publication of the company "Ráumliche spritzgegossene Schaltungstráger" [Three-dimensionally injection-molded circuit mounts] of Bayer AG (dated July 31, 2000, described as KU 21131-0007 d, e / 5672445) describes by means of example processes wherein a primer layer comprising organometallic compounds as a catalyst is applied by printing to certain polymer substrates. The metallization by a method without current and, if appropriate, electroplating then occurs. The metallized substrates can then be subjected to a forming process and finally plastic can be applied to the back of the material by an injection molding process.

An object of the present invention is to provide metallizable plastic parts which, when compared to known metallizable plastic parts, have improved mechanical properties, in particular improved toughness, flexural strength, and forming ability, and also improved processing properties, example, in production training processes involving complex molding of components, and which are metallizable without specific pretreatment of the plastic surface, at the same time having comparatively good use properties with respect to, for example, ability to metallize by a method without current or electroplating, absorption, attenuation, and reflection of electromagnetic radiation, or absorption of oxygen. Accordingly, the sheets or sheets mentioned at the beginning have been produced from a plastic mixture comprising, based on the total weight of the components A, B, C and D, which gives a total axis 100% in weight. weight, I to 50% by weight of a thermoplastic polymer as component A, from 50 to 95% by weight of a metal powder with an average particle diameter of 0.01 to 100 μm (determined by the method defined in the description), where the normal electrode potential of the metal in acid solution is more negative than that of silver, as component B, from 0 to 10% by weight of a dispersing agent as component C, and d from 0 to 40% by weight of fibrous fillers or particle or its mixtures as component D, wherein the tensile-to-rupture deformation of component A (determined by the method defined in the description) is greater by a factor of 1.1 to 100 than the tensile-to-rupture deformation of the plastic mixture comprising components A, B and , if present, C and D (determined by the method defined in the description), and where the tensile strain of component A (determined by the method defined in the description) is greater by a factor of 0.5 to 4 than the tensile deformation of the plastics mixture comprising components A, B, and, if present, C and D (determined by the method defined in the definition). The invention also provides thermoplastic molding compositions for the production of these sheets or sheets, and provides comparatively good with respect to, by way of example, ability to metallize by a currentless or electroplating method, absorption, attenuation, and electromagnetic radiation reflection, or oxygen absorption.

As component A, preference is given to using one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of impact-modified vinyl aromatic copolymers, thermoplastic styrene-based plastic elastomers, polyolefins, aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters, polycarbonate copolyesters, and of thermoplastic polyurethanes. Polyamides can also be used as the preferred component A.

Copo modified impact vinyl aromatic monomers: Preferred impact modified vinyl aromatic copolymers are modified impact copolymers composed of vinyl aromatic monomers and vinyl cyanide (SAN). The modified modified impact SANs preferably comprise polymers of ASA and / or polymers of ABS, or polymers of (meth) acrylate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene ("MABS", transparent ABS), or mixtures of SAN, ABS, ASA and MABS with others thermoplastics, for example, with polycarbonate, with polyamide, with polyethylene terephthalate, with polybutylene terephthalate, with PVC, or with polyolefins. The strain-to-rupture values of the ASA and ABS that can be used as components A are generally from 10% to 300%, preferably from 15 to 250%, particularly preferably from 20% to 200%. ASA polymers are generally impact modified SAN polymers comprising elastomeric graft copolymers of vinyl aromatic compounds, in particular styrene, and vinyl cyanides, in particular acrylonitrile, in polyalkyl acrylate rubbers in a composite copolymer matrix, in particular, of styrene and / or α-methylstyrene and acrylonitrile. In a preferred embodiment wherein the sheets or sheets comprise ASA polymers, the elastomeric graft copolymer A de) component A is composed of 1 to 99% by weight, preferably 55 to 80% by weight, in particular 55 to 65% by weight, of a graft base of particle A1 with a glass transition temperature below ° C, a2 from 1 to 99% by weight, preferably from 20 to 45% by weight, in particular from 35 to 45% by weight, of a graft A2 composed of the following monomers, based on A2, a21 of 40 to 100% by weight , preferably from 65 to 85% by weight, of units of styrene, of a substituted styrene, or of a (meth) acrylate, or a mixture of these, in particular of styrene and / or α-methylstyrene, as component A21, and 22 to 60% by weight, preferably 15 to 35% by weight, of acrylonitrile units or methacrylonitrile, in particular acrylonitrile, as component A22.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the average particle size of the AR component is 50 to 1000 nm, with monomodal distribution. In another embodiment of the invention, the particular size distribution of the AR component is bimodal, from 60 to 90% by weight having an average particle size of 50 to 200 nm, and from 10 to 40% by weight having an average particle size of 50 to 400 nm, based on the total weight of the AR component. The average particle size and the particle size distribution given are the determined sizes of the cumulative weight distribution. The average particle sizes according to the invention are in all cases the average weight of the particle sizes. The determination of these is based on the method of W. Scholtan and H. Lange, Kolloid-Z. und Z.-Polymere 250 (1972), pp. 782-796, using an analytical ultracentrifuge. The ultracentrifuge measurement gives the cumulative weight distribution of the particle diameter of a specimen. From this, it is possible to deduce what percentage by weight of the particles has a diameter identical to or less than a particular size. The average particle diameter, which is also called the d50 of the cumulative weight distribution, is defined here as that particle diameter at which 50% by weight of the particles have a smaller diameter than that corresponding to d50. Likewise, 50% by weight of the particles then have a diameter greater than d50. To describe the width of the particle size distribution of the rubber particles i, the values d10 and d90 given by the cumulative weight distribution are used next to the value d50 (particle diameter promejdio). The d10 and d90 of the cumulative weight distribution are defined similarly to d50 with the difference that they are based on, respectively, 10 and 90% by weight of the particles. they can comprise, as comonomers, up to 30% by weight of hard polymer-forming monomers, such as vinyl acetate, (meth) acrylonitrile, styrene, substituted styrene, methyl methacrylate, vinyl ether. Acrylate rubbers also comprise from 0.01 to 20% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 5% by weight, of polyfunctional, crosslinking monomers (crosslinking monomers). Examples of these are monomers comprising two or more double bonds capable of copolymerization, preferably not 1,3-conjugates. Examples of suitable crosslinking monomers are divinylbenzene, diallyl maleate, diallyl fumarate, diallyl phthalate, phthalate diethyl, triallyl cyanurate, triallyl isocyanurate, tricyclodecenyl acrylate, dihydrodicyclopentadienyl acrylate, triallyl phosphate, allyl acrylate, allyl methacrylate. Dicyclopentadienyl acrylate (DCPA) has proven to be a of particularly suitable interlacing (cf. DE-C 12 AR component is a graft copolymer. These graft copolymers AR have an average particle size d50 of 50 to 1000 nm, preferably 50 to 800 nm, and particularly preferably 50 to 600 nm. These particle sizes can be achieved if the graft base A1 used has a particle size of 50 to 800 nm, preferably 50 to 500 nm, and particularly preferably 50 to 250 nm. The graft copolymer A generally has one or more stages, that is, it is a polymer composed of a core and one or more frames. The polymer is composed of a first stage (graft core) A1 and one or - preferably - more stages A2 (grafts) grafted in this first stage and known as graft stages or graft frames.

Simple grafting or grafting in the form of multiple passes can be used to apply one or more graft frames to the rubber particles, and each of these graft frames can have a different composition. In addition to the graft monomers, it is also possible to include polyfunctional crosslinking monomers or monomers comprising reactive groups in the grafting process (see, for example, EP-A 230 282, DE-B 36 01 419, EP-A 269861). . In a preferred embodiment, the AR component is composed of graft copolymer urji developed in two or more stages, grafting stages usually being prepared from monomers resin formers and having a glass transition temperature Tg above 30 ° C, preferably above 50 ° C. The structure having two or more stages serves, among other things, to make the rubber particles AR (partially) compatible with the thermoplastic matrix. An example of a preparation method for graft copolymers AR is grafted from at least one of the monomers A2 listed below into at least one of the graft bases or graft core materials A2 listed above. In one embodiment of the invention, the graft base A1 is composed of from 15 to 99% by weight of acrylate rubber, from 0.1 to 5% by weight of crosslinker, and from 0 to 49.9% by weight of one of the other monomers or rubber mentioned. Suitable monomers for forming the graft A2 are styrene, α-methylstyrene, (meth) acrylates, acrylonitrile, and methacrylonitrile, in particular acrylonitrile. In one embodiment of the invention, interlaced acrylate polymers with a glass transition temperature of less than 0 ° C serve as the graft base A1. The interlaced acrylate polymers will preferably have a glass transition temperature of less than -20 ° C, in particular less than -30 ° C. | In a preferred embodiment, the graft A2 is composed of at least one graft framework, and the outer graft framework thereof has a glass transition temperature of more than 30 ° C, while a polymer formed from the graft monomers. A2 it would have a glass transition temperature of more than 80 ° C. The suitable preparation processes for AR graft copolymers are emulsion polymerization, solution, volume, or suspeinsión. The AR graft copolymers are preferably prepared by free radical emulsion polymerization in the presence of component A1 latices at 20 ° C to 90 ° C, using water soluble or oil soluble initiators, such as peroxodisulfate or benzoyl peroxide, or with the help of reidox initiators. The redox initiators are also suitable for polymerization below 20 ° C. Suitable emulsion polymerization processes are described in DE-A 2826925, 31 49 358 and DE-C 1260 135. The graft frameworks preferably accumulate in the emulsion polymerization described in DE-A 32 27 555, 34 14 118. The defined fit of the particle sizes of the; invention of 50 to 1000 nm occurs preferably by the processes described in DE-C 12 60 135 and DE-A 28 26 925, and Applied Polynlier Science, volume 9 (1965), p. 2929. The use of polymers with Different particle sizes are known from DE-A 28 26 925 and US-A 5 196480, for example. The process described in DE-C 12 60 135 begins by preparing in a known manner, at 20 ° C, the acrylate (s) used in an entanglement monomer with the other comonomers, in aqueous emulsion. The usual emulsifiers can be used, such as alkali metal alkyl- or alkylaryl sulphonates, alkyl sulfates, fatty acid sulfonates, salts of higher fatty acids having from 10 to 30 carbon atoms or resin soaps. It is preferable to use the sodium salts of alkylsulfonates or fatty acids having from 10 to 18 carbon atoms. In one embodiment, the amounts used of the emulsifiers are from 0.5 to 5% by weight, in particular from 1 to 2% by weight, based on the monomers used in preparing the graft base A1. In general, operations with a water to monomer ratio of 2: 1 to 0.7: 1 by weight are carried out. The polymerization initiators used are in particular the commonly used persulfates, such as potassium persulfate. However, it is also possible to use redox systems. The generally used amounts of the initiators are from 0.1 to 1% by weight, based on the monomers used in preparing the graft base A1. Other polymerization aids which can be used during the polymerization are the usual regulating substances which can adjust a preferred pH from 6 to 9, examples being sodium bicarbonate and sodium pyrophosphate, and also from 0 to 3% by weight of a regulator of molecular weight, such as mercaptans, terpinoles or dimeric a-methylstyrene. The precise polymerization conditions, in particular the nature, feed parameters, amount of the emulsifier, are determined individually within the ranges given above in such a way that the resulting lattice of the interlaced acrylate polymer has a d50. on the scale of about 50 to 800 nm, preferably 50 to 500 nm, particularly preferably in the range of 80 to 250 nm. The particle size distribution of the latex herein should preferably be narrow. In one embodiment of the invention, in order to prepare the graft polymer AR, in a next step, in the presence of the resulting latex of the interlaced acrylate polymer, a monomer mixture composed of styrene and acrylonitrile is polymerized, and in one embodiment of the invention here the weight ratio of styrene to acrylonitrile in the monomer mixture should be in the range of 100: 0 to 40:60, and preferably 65:35 to 85:15. This graft copolymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile in the crosslinked polyacrylate polymer that serves as a grafting base is once again advantageously carried out in aqueous emulsion under the usual conditions described above. Graft copolymerization can be useful in the system used for emulsion polymerization to prepare the graft base A1, where more emulsifier and initiator can be added, if necessary. The mixture of monomers of styrene and acrylonitrile that must be grafted in one embodiment of the invention can be added to the reaction mixture at the same time, in portions in more than one step, or preferably in a continuous form during the course of the polymerization. The graft copolymerization of the mixture of styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of the crosslinking acrylate polymer is carried out in such a manner so as to obtain in the graft copolymer AR a grafting degree from 1 to 99% by weight, preferably from 20 to 45% by weight, in particular from 35 to 45% by weight, based on the total weight of the AR component. Since grafting performance in graft copolymerization is not 100%, the amount of the mixture of styrene and acrylonitrile monomers to be used in the graft copolymerization is somehow greater than that which corresponds to the desired degree of grafting. The control of grafting performance in the graft copolymerization, and thus the degree of grafting of the finished graft copolymer AR, is a subject with which one skilled in the art is familiar. It can be achieved, for example, via the measurement rate of the monomers or via the addition of regulators (Chauvel, Daniel, ACS Polymer Preprints 15 (1974), pp. 329 ff.). The graft copolymerization by emulsion generally gives about 5 to 15% by weight, based on the graft copolymer, free ungrafted styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer. The proportion of the graft copolymer A in the polymerization product obtained in the graft copolymerization is determined by the method given above. The preparation of the AR copolymers by the emulsion process also gives, apart from the advantages of the technical process mentioned above, the possibility of reproducible changes in particle sizes, for example, by agglomerating the particles at least to a certain degree to give more particles. big. This implies that polymers with different particle sizes may also be present in the AR graft copolymers. The AR component The graft base compound and graft framework (s) can in particular ideally be adapted to the respective application, in particular with respect to particle size. The graft copolymers AR generally comprise from 1 to 99% by weight, preferably from 55 to 80% by weight, and particularly preferably from 55 to 65% by weight, from graft base A1 and from 1 to 99% by weight. weight, preferably from 20 to 45% by weight, in particular preferably from 35 to 45% by weight, of the graft A2, based in each case on the entire graft copolymer. The ABS polymers are generally understood to be modified impact SAN polymers wherein the diene polymers in particular poly-1,3-butadiene are present in a copolymer matrix, in particular styrene and / or α-methylstyrene, and acrylonitrile.

Sheet: in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers The inventive sheets or sheets are particularly suitable as outer layer (3) of sheets in mixed layers in multiple layers or mixed sheets in multiple layers, which in addition to the outer layer also have the minus one layer of substrate (1) composed of thermoplastic. In other embodiments, sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers comprise additional layers (2), by way of example color layers, adhesion promoter layers, or layers; intermediate, arranged between the outer layer (3) and the substrate layer (1). The substrate layer (1) can in principle be composed of any thermoplastic. The substrate layer (1) is preferably produced from the following materials described above in the shell composition: modified impact vinyl aromatic copolymers, styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers, polyolefins, polycarbonates, and thermoplastic polyurethanes, or mixtures thereof , particularly preferably of ASA, ABS, SAN, polypropylene, and polycarbonate, or mixtures thereof. The layer (2) differs from the layers (1) and (3), for example under of a polymer composition that differs from these and / or additive contents other than these, for example dyes or pigments of specific effect. By way of example, the layer (2) may be a cooling layer which may preferably comprise the following materials known to the person skilled in the art: colorants, color pigments, or specific effect pigments, such as mica or flakes of aluminum. However, the layer (2) can also serve to improve the mechanical stability of the sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers, or serve to promote adhesion between the layers (1) and (3). One embodiment of the invention provides a mixed layer sheet or composite layered composite composed of a layer of substrate (1) such as: described above, an outer layer (3), and, positioned therebetween, an intermediate layer (2) which It is composed of aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane, modified polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate, or styrene (co) polymers, such as SAN, which may have been modified impact, examples being ASA or ABS, or mixtures of these polymers. If aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane is used as the material of the intermediate layer (2), it is possible to use the aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane described for layer (3). If polycarbonate is used as intermediate layer (2), it is possible to use the polycarbonate described for layer (3). |) > Modified impact MMA (PMMA or H I PMMA high impact) is a polymethyl methacrylate that has become resistant to impact by virtue of suitable additives. Examples of suitable modified impact MAs are described by M. Stickler, T. Rhein in U Imann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, vol. A21, pages 473-485, VCH Publishers einheim, 1992, and H. Domininghaus, Die Kunststoffe und ihre Eigenschaften [plastics and their properties], VDI-Verlag Dusseldorf, 1992. | The layer thickness of the leaves in previous mixed layers or Lamellae in mixed layers is generally 15 to 5000 μP ?, preferably 30 to 3000 μ, particularly preferably 50 to 2000 μ? t ?. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers are composed of a layer of substrate (1) and an outer layer (3) with the following layer thicknesses: substrate layer (1) of 50 μ? T? at 1.5 mm; outer layer (3) from 10 to 500 pm. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the sheets in mixed layers or layers in mixed layers are composed of a substrate layer (1), an intermediate layer (2) and an outer layer (3). The sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers composed of a substrate (1), an intermediate layer (2), and an outer layer (3) preferably have the following layer thicknesses: substrate layer (1) ) of 50 μ ?? at 1.5 mm; intermediate layer (2) from 50 to 500 | jm; outer layer (3) from 10 to 500 mm. The sheets in mixed layers or sheets in inventive mixed layers may also have, in addition to the mentioned layers, on that side of the substrate layer (1) looking away from the outer layer (3), other layers, preferably an adhesion promoter layer, which serve for better adhesion of the sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers with the layer of support that will be described later. Adhesion promoter layers of this type are preferably produced from a material compatible with polyolefins, for example SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene copolymer, for example, manufactured under the tradename raton®). If this type of adhesion promoter layer is present, its thickness is preferably 10 to 300 μ? T ?. The sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers can be produced by processes that are known and described in the prior art (for example in WO 04/00935), for example, via adapter extrusion or coextrusion or lamination or lamination of the layers between yes. In the coextrusion processes, the components that form the individual layers are made to flow in extruders and, by means of specific apparatuses, they make contact with each other in such a way to give the sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers with the layer sequence described above. By means of example, the components can be coextruded through a slot die or a coextrusion, EP-A 2 0 225 500 explains this process. They can also be produced by the coextrusion process adapter, as described in the procedures of the conference of extrusion technology "Coextrusion von Folien", 8 and i October 9, 1996, VDI-Verlag Dusseldorf, in particular in the document by Dr. Netze. Usually this profitable process is used when coextrusion is used. The sheets in mixed layers and sheets in inventive mixed layers can also be produced by mutual lamination or mutational lamination of sheets or sheets in a heatable laminate. Here, the sheets or sheets are first produced separately, corresponding to the layers described. Known processes can be used for this purpose. The desired layer sequence is then produced via appropriate mutual superposition of the sheets or sheets, and then, by way of example, they pass through a heatable laminate between rolls and are bonded with exposure to pressure and heat to give a sheet in layers mixed or sheet in mixti layers. In particular, in the case of the adapter co-extrusion process, the equalization of the flow properties of the individual components is advantageous for the formation of uniform layers in the layers in mixed layers or layers in mixed layers.

Molds The sheets or sheets and sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers comprising the inventive sheets or sheets can be used to produce molds. Any desired mold is accessible here, giving preference to sheet-like molds, in particular molds with large surface area. These sheets or sheets and ho as in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers are used particularly preferably for the production of molds in which values of very good tenacity, good adhesion of the individual layers to each other, and good dimensional stability are important, in this way by means of of example minimizing rupture by detachment of the surfaces. Particularly preferred molds have monollamines or sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers comprising the inventive sheets or sheets and a backing layer composed of plastic applied to the back of the material by a process of injection molding, foaming, casting, or compression molding. Processes that are known and described by way of example in WO 04/00935 can be used for the production of inventive moldBS of the sheets or sheets or sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers (the processes for further processing of sheets) in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers being described below, but these processes also being able to be used for further processing of the inventive sheets or sheets). The material can be applied to the back of the sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers by a process of injection molding, foaming, casting, or compression molding, without any additional processing step. In particular, the use of the sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers described allows the production even of slightly three-dimensional components without previous thermoforming. However, the leaves In mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers they can also be subjected to a previous thermoforming process. By way of example, it is possible to thermoform leaves into mixed layers or sheets into mixed layers with the three-layer structure composed of substrate layer, intermediate layer, or outer layer, or of the two-layer structure composed of substrate layer and external layer, to produce relatively complex components. Thermoforming processes, either positive or negative, can be used here. The appropriate processes are known to the person skilled in the art. The sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers are oriented here in the thermoforming process. Since the surface quality and the ability to metallize sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers do not decrease with orientation at high orientation ratios, for example up to 1: 5, there are almost no restrictions with respect to the possible orientation in the thermoforming processes. After the thermoforming process, the sheets or sheets in mixed layers can be subjected to still further configuration steps, for example, pejrfil cuts. The inventive molds can be produced, if appropriate after the described thermoforming processes, by applying material to the backside of the sheets in mixed layers or layered sheets; mixed via injection molding, foaming, casting, or compression molding processes. These methods are known to those skilled in the art and are described by way of example in DE-A1 100 ¡190 or DE-A1 199 39 111. Inventive molds are obtained by applying plastics material to the back of the sheets in mixed layers via injection molding, foaming, casting, compression molding, or casting processes preferably comprise thermoplastic molding compositions based on ABS polymers | or in ASA polymers, in SAN polymers, in poly (meth) acrylates, in polyether sulfones, in polybutylene terephthalate, in polycarbonates, in polypropylene (PP), or in Ilean polye (PE), or otherwise compound mixtures of polymers of ASA or polymers of ABS and of polycarbonates or polybutylene terephthalate, and mixtures composed of polycarbonates and polybutylene terephthalate, and if PP and / or PE is used here clearly it is possible to provide the substrate layer in advance with an adhesion promoter layer. Particularly suitable materials are amorphous thermoplastics and mixtures thereof. A plastic material preferably used for application to the back of the material by an injection molding process is ABS polymer polymers of SAN. In another preferred embodiment, thermosetting molding compositions known to those skilled in the art are used for application to the rear of the material by a foaming or compression molding process. In another preferred embodiment, these are reinforced glass fiber plastic materials, and suitable variants in particular are described in DE-Al! 100 55 190. For application to the rear of the material by i a foaming process, it is preferable to use polyurethane foams, for example, those described in DE-A1 199 39 111. | In a preferred process for producing the inventive molds, the mixed layered sheet or mixed layered sheet is thermoformed and then placed in a back mold, and thermoplastic mold compositions are applied to the back of the material by a process of injection molding, casting, or compression molding, or thermofixing molding compositions are applied to the back of the material by a foaming or mold process or by compression. After thermoforming and before placing in the back mold, the mixed layered sheet or mixed layered sheet can pass through a profile cut. The profile cut can also be delayed until after removing the back mold from the mold. 1 I Metallized polymeric sheets The inventive sheets or sheets, or sheets in mixed layers or sheets and mixed layers, and molds are particularly suitable for the production of metallized polymer products, no need for specific pretreatment of the surface of the sheets. or leaves, or sheets in mixed layers or leaves in mixed layers, and molces.

Preferred metals whose standard potential of electrodes I in acidic, neutral or basic solution is more positive than that of component B are gold and silver (if component B is copper), or copper, nickel and silver, in particular copper, (if component B is iron). An Ms layer is thus deposited by a currentless or electroplating method in that layer of the inventive sheets or sheets, of the sheets in mixed layers or sheets in mixed layers, or of the molds comprising the component B. The preferred layers Ms are layers of gold and layers of silver (if component B is copper), or layers; of copper, layers of nickel, or layers of silver, in particular layers; of copper (if component B is iron). The thickness of the Ms layer that can be deposited by a method without current is in the usual scale known to the person skilled in the art and is not significant for the invention. The processes described in the literature and known to the person skilled in the art can be used to apply one or more metallic layers Mg, preferably by an electroplating method, that is, with application of external potential and current flow, to the Ms layer that can be deposited by a method without current. It is preferable to deposit copper layers, chromium layers, silver layers, and / or nickel layers by an electroplating method. The deposition of the aluminum composite layers g by an electroplating method is also preferred. Another possibility is the application via direct metallization by means of vacuum vapor deposition, bombardment / spraying, or spraying by methods known to those skilled in the art. The thicknesses of the one or more Mg layers deposited are in the conventional scale known to the person skilled in the art and are not significant for the invention. Particularly preferred metallized polymer products for use as electrically conductive components, in particular printed circuit boards, have a copper layer deposited by a currentless method and at least one other layer deposited by an electroplating method. Metallized polymer products particularly preferred for use in the decorative sector have a copper layer deposited by a currentless method and there a layer of nickel deposited by an electroplating method, and a layer of chromium, silver layer, or layer of gold deposited in that layer. The inventive sheets or sheets, sheets in composite layers or sheets! in composite layers, and molds comprising component B are suitable, without subsequent metallization, as EMI protective systems (i.e., protection to avoid what is known as electromagnetic interference), such as absorbents, attenuators, or reflectors for electromagnetic radiation or as oxygen scavengers. Inventive metallized polymer products comprising a metal layer M which can be deposited by a currentless method are suitable, without additional deposition of any Mg metal layer, as electrically conductive components, in particular printed circuit boards, transpjonder antennas , switches, sensors, and MIDs, and systems EMI protectors, such as absorbers, attenuators, or reflectors for electromagnetic radiation, or as gas scavengers. Metallized polymer products comprising a metal layer Ms which can be deposited by a currentless method and at least one deposited metal layer g are suitable as electrically conductive components, in particular printed circuit boards, transponder antennas, switches, sensors , and MIDs, and EMI protective systems, such as absorbers, attenuators, or reflectors for electromagnetic radiation, or gas sweepers, or decorative parts, in particular decorative parts in the motor vehicle sector, health sector, toy sector, sector domestic, and office sector. Examples of these uses are: computer cases, cases for electronic components, and military and non-military selection equipment, bathroom accessories, accessories for sinks, showers, bath rails and bath bras, metallic keys and majnijas, roll fasteners of toilet paper, tub handles, metallic decorative strips on furniture and mirrors, frames for sprinkler divisions. Mention may also be made of: metallized plastic surfaces in the automotive sector, for example, decorative strips, exterior mirrors, radiator grills, chest metallization, wing surfaces, exterior body parts, falcas, footprint substitute, covers of decorative rims. In particular, the parties here to some degree or entirely produced from metals, can be produced from plastic. Examples that can be mentioned here are: tools, such as tweezers, screwdrivers, drills, chucks, saws, star keys and fixed wrenches. Metallized polymer products are also used - if they comprise magnetizable metals - in sectors for magnetizable functional parts, such as magnetic panels, magnetic sets, magnetic areas in, for example, refrigerator doors. They are also used in sectors where good thermal conductivity is advantageous, for example, in sheets for heated seats, heated floors, insulating materials. When compared with known metallizable plastic parts, the inventive metallizable plastic parts have improved mechanical properties, in particular improved tenacity, flexural strength and forming ability, and also improved processing properties, for example, in forming processes for the production involving complex molding of components, and they are metallizable without specific pretreatment of the plastic surface, without having comparatively good use properties with respect to, by way of example, ability to metallize by non-current and electroplating methods, and absorption , attenuation, and reflection of electromagnetic radiation, or absorption of oxygen.
