ELECTROLESS PLATING PROCESS OF CROSSLINKED MONODISPERSE POLYMER PARTICLES WITH A DIAMETER OF MICRON AND THE PLATED PARTICLES THEREFROM

摘要

Disclosed herein are a method for the electroless metal plating of micron-sized monodisperse crosslinked polymer particles and plated particles prepared thereby. The method is performed using a dropping method, in which a plating solution, divided into a metal salt solution and a reducing salt solution, is continuously added to a plating bath. In the method for electroless metal plating of monodisperse crosslinked polymer particles, plating uniformity, plating reproducibility and dispersion properties are improved by adjusting the pH in the initial stage of the plating reaction, improving a plating solution addition method, adding an intermission, and selecting a suitable stirring method.
