Elaboration des conditions de métallisation de matériau polymérique

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to establish the conditions for the development of metallization of polymeric non-conductive materials in particular acrylonitrile-butadiene Stirene (ABS). The conditions of the pretreatment of the surface substrate (ABS) have been developed as well as the composition of the bath and the etching parameters. The different steps of electroless copper process, the bath composition used and its parameters have been optimized and experimentally determined. The study of the thin layer of electroless deposited copper has a thickness in the order of a few nanometers and adheres well to the substrate surface. On the layer obtained by electroless copper, layers of copper and nickel having a thickness of ten microns were electrochemically performed. The exploration of the layers by different physical, physico-chemical and microscopic methods have shown good adhesion, brightness and conduction.
