Hi i am working on electroless copper plating on plastic .in the last step(plating bath) the deposition is formed on the bottom of beaker not on the plastic! i have do it in Higher temperatures but did not respond! what is the problem?
Dear Reyhane Mokhber thank you for sharing this very interesting technical question with other RG members. As a synthetic inorganic chemist I have no practical experience with electroless copper plating on plastic. However, I know that it is often very helpful to use RG directly as a valuable source of information. Many relevant research articles have been posted by RG members. For example, please have a look at the following potentially useful articles which might help you in your analysis:
Electroless Plating on Plastic
Article Electroless Plating on Plastic
and
Electroless Cu Plating on ABS Plastic by Using Environmentally Friendly Chemicals
Article Electroless Cu Plating on ABS Plastic by Using Environmental...
Both articles are freely available as public full texts on RG, so that you can download them as pdf files.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your research and best wishes, Frank Edelmann
