Producing metal patterns on a plastic surface

摘要: Poly(arylene sulfide) articles having plated metal paths thereon are disclosed. A pattern of areas lesser crystallinity and higher is created in the polymer morphology a surface article. The then exposed to chemical etchant selectively active upon thereby etching those while leaving substantially unaffected. Then conductive deposited on etched by an electroless plating process. Subsequent electroplating can also be used.
