Abstract
The electroless copper coating was prepared on the hollow glass microspheres. To reduce the cost, the silver nitrate activator was used instead of conventional PdCl2. The coated microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The continuous and uniform Cu coating was obtained on the microspheres under the optimized electroless process and the thickness of Cu coating was identified to be about 100 nm. The silver nitrate activator has been demonstrated to be effective replacement for the PdCl2 activator.
