  • METHOD FOR GENERATING SURFACE-SILVERED POLYMER STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20090149589
    Abstract: A process is described for forming a conductive silver surface on a solid polymer article. An acid-containing polymer and silver ions are dissolved in an appropriate solvent, and a solid polymer article is formed by known methods. The solid polymer is treated with a chemical reducing agent to yield a conductive silver surface, useful in a wide range of applications. Patterned silver conductive surfaces can also be produced.
