Fabrication of a Metal Membrane on a Perforated Polymer Substrate by Palladium Aerosol Activation and Subsequent Electroless Plating

Abstract: Fabrication of a metal membrane on a perforated flexible poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) substrate was developed by employing spark-generated palladium (Pd) aerosol activation and the subsequent electroless plating of Pd. After aerosol activation, Pd agglomerates of spark-generated primary particles (approximately 2.6 nm in diameter) with a face-centered-cubic structure were deposited uniformly on the PTFE substrate. Homogeneous Pd particles with an average size of 188 nm were tightly packed together to form … Show more

“…29,30 These metallic aerosol nanoparticles have been used as initiators for the electroless deposition of metals. [31][32][33][34][35] This paper reports the feasibility of spark generation in an inert gas atmosphere to synthesize CEMNs in a continuous aerosol manner using a metal (nickel, cobalt, iron)-graphite carbon electrode configuration without the use of a vacuum. The morphology and structure of the synthesized particles were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy.…”

“…Metallization of polymers has attracted considerable attention and research interest over the past few years. Aromatic polysulfonamide (PSA) fibers, with a registered trademark of Tanlon, can be selected as substrates because of their outstanding properties such as chemical durability, flame retardancy, high strength, lightweight, and thermal stability. They are the first originally developed aramid fibers with sole intellectual property in China, which have already been widely used in aerospace and military applications such as protective textiles, flue gas filtrations, insulation materials, and reinforcement materials.…”

“…Furthermore, as less reactive reductants are used, a lowly adhesive copper film is usually obtained on the surface of the textile. To address this issue, the textile is usually pretreated prior to copper plating by sealing, sandblasting, and etching or by using chemical sensitizers, plasma, and supercritical carbon oxide. The surface-treated textile can then have improved adhesion strength through enhanced bonding to copper.…”
