Abstract
Electroless copper plating on Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a technology that is increasingly popular and widely used in practice. Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), also known as by the trade names, Plexiglas®, is a transparent thermoplastic often used in sheet form as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. Especially with the transparent plastic equipment requiring high aesthetic such as equipment in the automotive industry, toilet equipment, … coating a Copper layer on the material surface simply provides the device a high aesthetic ability, which prevents dust and also easy to be cleaned. However, most of the copper plating processes on plastics use Cr6+, which is toxic to the environment. This article presents a new approach, Copper plating on PMMA through organic covalent bonding, which is both safe and environmentally responsible.
