Сhecking the possibilities of the classic technology of chemical metalization of polymer granules

Abstract

The possibility of obtaining metallized granules of high-tonnage polymers using classical metallization technology was studied. It is shown that this technology is not effective during the metallization of polyethylene and polypropylene. Certain positive points during metallization were achieved only in the case of polyvinyl chloride granules. It was established that the treatment of granules with etching agents of different nature does not lead to a significant change in surface properties, which can explain the low efficiency of classical technology during the metallization of polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride granules.
