Abstract

The research described concerns the application of a composition graded film for use as a preplate for metallizing nonconducting materials. The composition of the graded film, which changes from 100% organic to nearly pure metallic over the thickness of the film, eliminates sudden changes in material structure and chemical composition between two dissimilar materials, and assists in establishing a stronger, more durable interface. The graded film was layered onto various polymeric substrates by glow discharge plasma polymerization, and the final metallizing material was plated onto the graded film electrolytically.
