Formation of catalytic metal nuclei for electroless plating
First Claim
1. An electroless plating method which comprises applying to a substrate a polymer composition consisting essentially of 100 parts by weight of a polymer and an organic metal complex in an amount of from 0.001 to 50 parts by weight as metal, pyrolytically decomposing the organic metl complex at a temperature of from 80°
- to 350°
C. to form plating catalyst metal nuclei on the substrate without decomposing the polymer, removing the dried polymer coating by using an organic solvent and/or an aqueous alkaline solution, and conducting electroless plating of the substrate.
