Abstract: The instant invention is a multilayer structure, and a method for making the same. The multilayer structure comprises: (a) at least one substrate layer comprising a polymeric material; (b) at least one adhesion layer, wherein said adhesion layer is derived from an adhesion promoter composition comprising: at least one aqueous epoxy dispersion; at least one hardening agent; optionally at least one leveling agent; at least one toughening agent; and optionally at least one filler; and (c) at least one surface layer comprising a plating metal; wherein said adhesion layer is disposed therebetween said at least one substrate layer and said at least one surface layer.
