Abstract

Metal plated plastics are becoming more prevalent in materials of communication parts. A new technique MmSH is a process of injecting plastics to produce innovated physical properties compared to the conventional injection process. This study involves two ways of coating plastics Ni by electroless plating and varying bath and plasma treatment for improved adhesion strength between plating layer and surface. MmSH injection processed ASS with plasma treated after neutralization showed a superior adhesion force and a gloss and rate of deposition when it was in pH 7.5. On the other hand, conventional injection processed ASS was in pH 6.5.
