Abstract

Optimal pretreatment processes for metal plating on engineering plastics, especially on Nylon-inorganic filler alloy was studied. For Nylon-inorganic filler alloy, adhesion strength between resin surface and metal could be improved by just etching process that eliminate amorphous layer. In the SEM picture and surface roughness measurement, etching treatment was found to make enabled the surface condition very rough and the adhesion strength good. It was also found that the surface condition of plated article and its adhesion strength partly depended upon molding condition of Nylon-inorganic filler alloy. EDS, peaks showed that what kinds of and how much of the metal elements remained on the resin surface after pretreatment processes. Cr did not affect on adsorption of Sn and Pd remarkably.

Nylon-inorganic filler alloy의 도금에 있어 최적 전처리 공정에 관하여 연구하였다. Nylon-inorganic filler alloy는 etching 공정만으로도 무정형층을 제거하여 요구되는 충분한 밀착력을 얻을 수 있었다. SEM과 표면조도 측정으로부터 etching 공정이 수지표면을 매우 거칠고 접착력을 우수하게 만든다는 결과를 얻었으며, 도금물질의 표면상태와 접착력은 Nylon-inorganic filler alloy 수지의 성형조건에 의존한다는 것을 확인하였다. EDS 분석으로 전처리 후 수지표면의 잔류금속의 종류와 양을 측정한 결과 Cr은 Sn과 Pd의 흡착에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
