Abstract:We studied electroless copper plating with a nanodispersion of polypyrrole using the loss of oxidationreduction ability of polypyrrole by UV irradiation as a method of pattern plating on PET film. Using this method, palladium catalysts are only adsorbed onto the polypyrrole sites where there is no UV irradiation, resulting in the formation of pattern plating. Examining the irradiation conditions indicates that UV irradiation with wavelengths shorter than 300 nm is effective for the degradation of polypyrrole a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
