PLATABLE RESIN COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Disclosed are platable resin compositions for use in, for example, metal plating of plastics. The resin compositions include polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and a filler, and may exclude a laser direct structuring additive. The compositions possess markedly improved characteristics, such as notched IZOD impact, flex modulus, and peel strength. Also disclosed are methods for plating metal on a substrate that is formed from the present resin compositions, as well as articles that include the disclosed compositions.
