METHOD FOR COATING WITH METAL AND MATERIAL COATED WITH METAL

摘要

A novel method for coating with a metal which comprises dispersing a powder of an inorganic compound in a liquid containing an organic solvent, immersing a substrate into the liquid, and then applying vibration or heat to the resultant system, to thereby form a metal film on the substrate; and a material coated with a metal by using the method. The method allows the uniform coating of arbitrary and various substrates with a metal film having a thickness of a few nanometers to a few thousands nanometers with a simple and easy means, without the need for a means requiring many constrains such as a vacuum system, without the fear of generation of a poisonous substance and with no restraint for a heating temperature or a material to be used.
