  • Electroless metal plating of plastics
    Patent number: 4600656
    Abstract: Process for plating main group metals on aromatic polymers is carried out by the use of a nonaqueous solution of a salt of an alkali metal in a positive valence state and a main group metal in a negative valence state with contact between the solution and polymer providing a redox reaction causing the deposition of the main group metal and the reduction of the polymer. Products from the process exhibit useful decorative and electrical properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 1984
    Date of Patent: July 15, 1986
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the United States Department of Energy
