Studies on the preparation and properties of conductive polymers. XI. Metallized polymer films by plating out

摘要

Metallized films were prepared from the plating-out method. Various metal powders with lower reduction potential were dispersed in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) aqueous solution dried to form a film, then treated with metal salt solutions having metal ions in the metal salt with higher reduction potential. Metallized PVA films exhibited low surface resistivity around 100-101 Ω/cm2 when using the plating-out method. The surfaces of these films were shown to be metallized by means of X-ray analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also studied.
