Method for selectively nickeling a layer of polymerized polyester resin

摘要

A method of selectively nickeling a layer of polymerized polyester resin is described. Patterns of electrically conducting nickel are produced on the resin surface by etching the surface of the resin prior to covering the etched surface with a patterned layer of unetched resin which exposes the etched resin in the regions in which metallization is to occur. A palladium plating solution followed by an immersion boron-nickel bath provide the metalization on the etched regions of the resin.
