Abstract: In the production of printed circuit boards it is required that organic protective coatings adhere tightly on the copper surfaces. Accordingly, matt layers of copper are to be preferred over lustrous coatings. The bath in accordance with the invention serves to deposit matt layers of copper and has the additional advantageous property that the layers may also be deposited with sufficient coating thickness in very narrow bore holes at average cathode current density. For this purpose the bath contains at least one polyglycerin compound selected from the group comprising poly(1,2,3-propantriol), poly(2,3-epoxy-1-propanol) and derivatives thereof.

Abstract: A process is described for producing inductively operating counting systems by forming a conducting structure on an electrically non-conducting substrate, comprising a step involving the application of a suitable catalyst for the currentless deposition of metals onto the electrically non-conducting substrate as well as conventional pretreatment and post-treatment steps.

Abstract: A process for metallizing non-conductive surfaces, by treating the non-conductive surface with a solution containing at least one suspended or solute oxidation agent, contacting the treated non-conductive surface with an acidic solution containing at least one water soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of homopolymers and copolymers, and at least one aromatic compound which chemically polymerizes the water-soluble polymer and the aromatic compound to form a conductive polymer, and electroplating the conductive polymer. Each water-soluble polymer contains uncharged structural elements or is cationic polyelectrolyte. Additionally, each water soluble polymer is capable of protonizing/deprotonizing reactions, formation of hydrogen bridge compounds and van der Waals interactions.
