Abstract

PURPOSE:To directly carry out electroless plating while obviating the necessity of a sensitizing stage and an activating stage by applying etching treatment to the surface of a resin molded body by means of high frequency sputtering. CONSTITUTION:By applying etching treatment to the surface of a resin molded body by means of high frequency sputtering, electroless plating can directly be performed while obviating the necessity of sensitizing and activating stages which are complicated stages using heavy metals hitherto considered to be necessary to carry out electroless plating and also a stage for waste disposal attendant upon the above stages, and, as a result, anyone can easily produce an electroless plated resin molded body with extremely high productivity independently of the kind of resin. Since the electroless plated resin molded body obtained by the method of this invention has high electric conductivity even in this state, it can be used in the field of electromagnetic wave shielding material.

In the present invention, before applying electroless plating to the surface of the resin molded body, it is necessary to etching the surface of the molded body by high frequency sputtering in advance. In this etching process, for example, a parallel plate device is used to accelerate ionization of gas by high frequency (13.56 MHz) discharge, and the surface of the molded body is physically etched by the generated ion species. As conditions at this time, the pressure is usually selected in the range of several tens of mTorr to several tens of mmTorr, and the output is selected in the range of several tens of W to several hundred W. Further, the processing time depends on the form of the resin molded article (film, sheet, structure, etc.), heat resistance, etc., and cannot be determined generally, but it is usually about several minutes to several tens of minutes. Furthermore, the type of gas is not particularly limited as long as it can be ionized by high-frequency discharge, but inert gases such as argon and helium are usually preferably used.

Note that the method described in JP-A-59-11336 is a method in which the resin surface is etched by a chemical reaction (0□+C-CO2, etc.) with a reactive gas (oxygen, etc.) under plasma etching conditions. This method is fundamentally different from the method of the present invention.

There are no particular restrictions on this electroless plating method.
A method commonly used in conventional electroless plating can be used. For example, the resin molded body that has been etched as described above is placed in a chemical plating solution containing a metal to be coated, such as a chemical copper plating solution or a chemical nickel plating solution, for 5 minutes at a temperature of usually 20 to 50°C. By performing artificial immersion for 60 minutes, a metal coating is formed that tightly adheres to the surface of the molded product.

In this way, the resin molded body is provided with a metal coating on its surface and is imparted with electrical conductivity, so that electroplating can be easily performed on the metal coating. This electroplating provides a single-layer metal coating or a multi-layer metal coating, but the structure of the metal coating can be selected as appropriate depending on the application. Electroplating is performed in the order of plating, nickel plating and chrome plating to provide a multilayer metal coating.
