Two new processes for plastic metallization have been developed as part of a research project. The plasma-assisted processes enable adhesive chemical nickel deposition on a wide range of plastics, but also composites, glasses or ceramic surfaces. A chemical pre-treatment of the substrates can be dispensed with.
