RESIN COMPOSITION COMPRISING CATALYST PRECURSOR FOR ELECTROLESS PLATING TO FORM ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE SHIELDING LAYER, METHODS FOR FORMING METAL PATTERNS USING THE RESIN COMPOSITION AND METAL PATTERNS FORMED BY THE METHODS

摘要

Disclosed is resin composition which comprises a catalyst precursor for electroless plating to form an electromagnetic wave shielding layer. The resin composition comprises an organic polymer resin, a polyfunctional monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond, a photoinitiator, a silver organic complex precursor as a catalyst precursor, and an organic solvent. Further disclosed are methods for forming metal patterns using the resin composition and metal patterns formed by the methods. The methods comprise forming a pattern, reducing the pattern, and electroless plating the reduced pattern. A patterned layer of the catalyst formed using the resin composition is highly adhesive, a loss of the catalyst during a wet process is substantially prevented, and an increase in plating rate leads to the formation of a uniform, fine metal pattern after electroless plating. Electromagnetic wave shielding materials comprising the metal patterns can be suitably used in the formation of films for shielding electromagnetic waves.
