Description

This book describes procedures and processes used in the metallic coating of plastics as a first stage in the production of an electroplated deposit. Techniques for depositing the initial conducting film by electroless techniques prior to electroplating and the pretreatment of the individual plastics themselves, are dealt with in considerable detail. In addition, the equipment used for electroplating, analysis and control of the solution, testing of the deposits and component design are discussed in some depth.

The author recognises that methods other than electroless deposition exist whereby metallic deposits can be obtained on plastics. A serious attempt has therefore been made to highlight the essentials of these processes.

While writing the book, the author appealed not only to the electrochemist and plastics technologist, but also to the designer whose interest lies in promoting the many applications which this branch of technology has to offer. This is the first publication to deal with the subject in such a comprehensive manner.
