  • Electroless plating is known as a method for forming a metal film at low cost on a molded body.
  • a pretreatment for roughening the surface of the molded body is performed using an etching solution containing an oxidizing agent such as hexavalent chromic acid or permanganic acid. Therefore, an ABS resin (acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene copolymer synthetic resin) that is eroded by an etching solution has been mainly used for electroless plating.
  • the butadiene rubber component is selectively eroded by the etching solution, and irregularities are formed on the surface.
  • a plating grade in which a component that is selectively oxidized to an etching solution such as an ABS resin or an elastomer is mixed in order to enable electroless plating has a problem of high environmental load because hexavalent chromic acid or the like is used.
  • An electroless plating catalyst is applied to the surface of the roughened molded body, and then electroless plating is performed.
  • the electroless plating catalyst application to the plastic substrate two kinds of methods are mainly used.

  • Activator a palladium chloride solution
  • the sensitizer / activator method has a problem that the mass productivity is low because the bath life of the tin colloid used in the sensitizer is short. For this reason, the catalyst accelerator method is mainly employed as an industrial electroless plating catalyst application method.

  • the proposed electroless plating catalyst solution does not contain tin, which has a high environmental load, and is more stable for a long time compared to conventional sensitizer solutions.
  • Patent Document 1 mainly uses a molded body made of polyamide. Therefore, there is a possibility that an electroless plating film having high adhesion strength cannot be formed on a molded body made of a thermoplastic resin other than polyamide. Moreover, since the method proposed in Patent Document 2 forms a new palladium complex, the cost of the electroless plating catalyst may increase.

  • ABS resin has been used most frequently as a plated part and has a wide range of applications. Conventional plating on ABS resin requires etching using chromic acid or the like as a plating pretreatment, but as described later, etching using an organic solvent instead of chromic acid is also possible.

  • CNF inclusion of CNF in the molded body brings about the following advantages in addition to the above-described 1) improving the reactivity of electroless plating by adsorbing metal ions. 2) Since CNF is hydrophilic, the catalyst solution and the plating solution easily penetrate into the molded body containing CNF. Then, the plating film grows from the inside of the molded body with the CNF buried in the molded body as a base point, and the fibrous CNF suppresses the peeling of the plating film. Thereby, the adhesion strength of the plating film is improved. 3) CNF has a low specific gravity and a low thermal expansion coefficient and a high elastic modulus.

For this reason, it is preferable to maintain the pressure in the plasticizing cylinder of the extrusion molding machine at a high pressure at which the solvent of the CNF slurry can maintain the liquid body even in a high temperature state where the thermoplastic resin melts.

  • the electroless plating catalyst was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the electroless plating time was 3 minutes shorter than that of Example 1.
  • Application, electroless plating, displacement copper plating and electrolytic copper plating were performed to obtain a plated molded body.
  • the electroless plating film was formed on the entire surface of the molded body.
  • the adhesion strength of the plating film was measured by the same method as in Example 1. As a result, the adhesion strength of the plating film was 10 N / cm. Although this result is a lower value than Example 2, it is practically sufficient strength. According to the study by the present inventors, the adhesive strength of the plating film formed on the surface of the foamed molded product tends to be lower than that of the non-foamed molded product regardless of the presence or absence of CNF. The cause of this is not clear, but is presumed as follows.
  • the method for producing a plated molded body of the present invention can provide a molded body having high plating reactivity, an electroless plated film can be formed by a method with low environmental burden and cost. Furthermore, the obtained plated molded body has a plating film with high adhesion strength and has high heat cycle resistance. Therefore, the plated molded body produced according to the present invention can be widely used for applications requiring high durability.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'un corps moulé plaqué, qui forme un film de placage autocatalytique sur un corps moulé présentant une réactivité de placage élevée par un procédé à faible coût qui n'a qu'un faible impact sur l'environnement. Ce procédé de production d'un corps moulé plaqué comprend : un procédé pour obtenir un corps moulé par moulage d'une résine thermoplastique qui contient des nanofibres de cellulose ; un procédé pour mettre un liquide catalytique de placage autocatalytique qui contient un sel métallique en contact avec le corps moulé ; et un procédé pour former un film de placage autocatalytique sur la surface du corps moulé par mise en contact d'un liquide de placage autocatalytique avec le corps moulé, qui a été mis en contact avec le liquide catalytique de placage autocatalytique.
