Surface metallizing method, method for preparing plastic article and plastic article made therefrom

摘要

The present invention refers to a method for metallizing a plastic surface of a plastic article having at least a part thereof made from a support comprising a supporting material and an electroless plating promoter. The method comprises the steps of: 1) gasifying the plastic surface to expose the electroless plating promoter; and 2) electroless plating a layer of copper or nickel on the plastic surface, followed by electroplating or a second electroless plating to form a metallized layer on the plastic surface. The electroless plating promoter includes one or more members selected from a group consisting of multicomponent oxides selected from a group consisting of Cu/Fe/Mn, Cu/Fe/Al and/or Cu/Fe/Al/Mn multicomponent oxides.
