<p>Disclosed is a method for forming a metal coating film, which is characterized by forming a metal coating film on an electrically non-conductive particle having a particle diameter of 0.5 to 100 µm by electroless plating. The electroless plating is carried out after a pre-treatment for attaching a metal core to the electrically non-conductive particle is carried out, and can form a metal coating film made of silver in the presence of a silane compound having a thiol group. The metal coating film formed over the entire surface of the electrically non-conductive particle can impart electrical conductivity to the electrically non-conductive particle. The electrically non-conductive particle has a particle diameter ranging from 0.5 to 100 µm. The metal coating film is composed of a single silver layer.</p> |
