Metallisation of plastics using a PVD process

Objective

Transfer of laboratory results from 2 dimensional parts to 3 dimensional parts and construction of prototype equipment which almost corresponds to serial equipment. Cease chemical metallisation of plastics parts.

Prior to chromeplating, plastics must be coated to make them electronically conductive. This proposal entails doing this using a physical process.

A PE-PVD process is transferred from laboratory status onto prototype equipment which almost corresponds to serial equipment. For this, process data, eg rate of separation, degree of ionisation, process time, bias-tension will be collated.

In addition, the PE-PVD pre-treatment must be integrated into the chromeplating process. For this, the frame contacts, pickling and start-up processes must be developed.

To ensure process stability the characteristics of the PVD coating must be established for which an analysis of the conductivity, ductility and if necessary, metallic structure and coating thickness is necessary.
