Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for manufacturing a plastic-metal hybrid part by plastic overmolding of a metal surface via nano-molding technology (NMT). More particular the invention relates to a process wherein the metal is overmolded with an LDS (laser direct structuring) composition.
  • the invention also relates to a plastic-metal hybrid part obtained by a nano-molding technology (NMT) process, wherein the hybrid part comprises a plastic material comprising a LDS (laser direct structuring) additive bonded to a surface area of a metal part.
  • the present invention concerns a plastic-metal hybrid part, obtained by a nano-molding technology (NMT) process, and comprising a conductive circuit obtained by an LDS process.
  • Nano-molding technologies and laser direct structuring are processes and technologies to produce products with integrated functions and/or integrated components. Combination of these processes can lead to further integration of different functions and miniaturization of products.
  • MID components may be provided as molded integrated devices (MID) with desired printed conductors.
  • MID components manufactured in this way can be three-dimensional molded parts having an integrated conductor layout and possibly further electronic or electromechanical components mounted there upon.
  • the use of MID components of this type even if the components have only printed conductors and are used to replace conventional wiring inside an electrical or electronic device, saves space, allowing the relevant device to be made smaller, and lowers the manufacturing costs by reducing the number of assembly and contacting steps. It is becoming increasingly popular to form MIDs using a laser direct structuring (LDS) process.
  • LDS laser direct structuring
  • LDS Laser Direct Structuring
  • a plastic article is injection molded using a polymer composition formulated specifically for this process.
  • the plastic article is then activated with a laser in the desired pattern, thereby activating the surface of the article in the areas traced with the laser.
  • the plastic article then undergoes an electroless plating process, with a metal such as copper, nickel or gold, with the resulting circuit paths conforming exactly to the laser pattern.
  • a computer-controlled laser beam travels over the MID to activate the plastic surface at locations where the conductive path is to be situated.
  • LDS Laser Direct Structuring
  • One advantage of the Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) process is the ability to have a circuit path following the contour of the injection molded article, thus applying a true 3D circuit path. By integrating the circuit directly onto the plastic article, the designer now has freedoms previously unavailable. These design freedoms allow article consolidation, weight reduction, miniaturization, reduced assembly time, improved reliability and overall system cost reduction.
  • Another advantage of laser direct structuring is its flexibility. If the design of the circuit is changed, it is simply a matter of reprogramming the computer that controls the laser.
  • Nano-molding technology is a technology wherein a plastic material is bonded to a metal part to form a so-called plastic-metal hybrid part, wherein the bonding strength at the metal-plastic interface results from or is enhanced by a pretreatment of the metal resulting in a surface area with surface irregularities of nano- size dimensions.

  • a metal sheet is etched by dipping the metal sheet into an alkaline solution.
  • the alkaline solution is indicated as T-solution and the dipping step is indicated as T-treatment step.
  • the anodizing treatment has specific advantages over NMT processes comprising multi-stage pretreatment steps wherein the metal part is subjected to multiple chemicals baths including degreasing agents, acid solutions and base solutions, and lastly submerged in a T-solution and rinsed in diluted water.
  • NMT is limited to the process including the T-treatment step.
  • NMT nano-molding technology

  • the bonding strength methods for the adhesion interface in the plastic-metal assemblies was measured by the method according to ISO19095 at 23 °C and a tensile speed of 10 mm/min. The results have been included in Table 1 .
  • the LDS behavior was tested with a 20W laser, applying different power levels ranging from 50 % to 90 % of the maximum laser power (max 20 W) and different pulsing frequencies (60 kHz, 80 kHz and 100 kHz), with a laser spot size of 40 ⁇ diameter.
  • Plating was done with a standard Ethone Plating bath with Cu only with a plating time of 10 minutes.
  • Plating thickness was measured with 300 micron diameter X-ray beam, averaged over 3 different measurements for each of the process conditions. The measurements were based on calibrated data for copper films with certified thickness values. Results are given in Table 1 .
