摘要

A process for producing a metal film-coated material, the process including: (a1) forming, on a substrate, a polymer layer formed from a polymer which has a functional group capable of interacting with a plating catalyst or a precursor thereof, and is directly chemically bonded to the substrate;(a2) providing a plating catalyst or a precursor thereof to the polymer layer; and (a3) performing plating with respect to the plating catalyst or a precursor thereof. The polymer layer satisfies all of the following requirements (1) to (4): (1) the saturated water absorption coefficient of the polymer layer as measured in an environment of temperature of 25°C and relative humidity of 50 % is 0.01 to 10% by mass; (2) the saturated water absorption coefficient of the polymer layer as measured in an environment of temperature of 25°C and relative humidity of 95 % is 0.05 to 20% by mass; (3) the water absorption coefficient of the polymer layer as measured after 1 hour of immersion in boiling water at 100°C is 0.1 to 30% by mass; and (4) the surface contact angle of the polymer layer as measured after dropping 5 µL of distilled water thereonto and leaving to stand for 15 seconds in an environment of temperature of 25°C and relative humidity of 50 % is 50 to 150 degrees.
