Aqueous, catalyst emulsions adapted for forming cross-linked, polymeric coatings which can catalyze the electroless deposition of metal comprise (a) water, (b) surfactant-stabilized particles of a cross-linkable, water-insoluble polymer dispersed as an emulsion in said water, (c) a water soluble compound of a Group 8 metal, and (d) a cross-linking agent. Such emulsions are adapted to forming catalytically inert, dry films which can be simultaneously thermally cross-linked and activated to catalyze electroless deposition of strongly adhering metals such as copper, nickel and silver. Cross-linkable polymers include polybutadiene and copolymers of butadiene, poly(vinylchloride), poly(methacrylate), poly(alkylmethacrylate) and poly(vinylacetate). |
