| 20110303644 | Methods for Plating Plastic Articles - An improved method for plating and metallizing plastic articles is disclosed. A polymer is selected to mold a three-dimensional plastic article for use with miniaturized electronic devices. Patterns are structured onto the surface of the plastic article by means of laser direct structuring or by multi-shot injection molding. The patterns on the plastic article are activated with a colloidal palladium solution. The activated patterns are then plated with copper and nickel using electroless baths. Optionally, the patterns are flash gold plated to improve bonding, solderability and contact resistance. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20090317556 | Method of Chrome Plating Magnesium and Magnesium Alloys - A process for chrome plating magnesium and its alloys. The process uses a combination of electroless nickel plating, a multi-stage copper coating transition system and multiple layers of electrodeposited nickel to form a corrosion resistant system of substantial impermeability and interlayer adherence suitable for direct chromium electroplating. | 12-24-2009 |
