Abstract Information about the factors influencing laser-induced deposition of metals,
primarily copper, from aqueous and aqueous–organic solutions are generalized and …

We review the fundamental concepts of direct laser writing (DLW) of 3D metallic structures
via photoreduction and give an overview over the state-of-the-art. On the one hand, metallic …

This volume documents the proceedings of the Second International Symposium on
Polyimides and Other High Temperature Polymers: Synthesis, Characterization and …

Highly conductive, durable, and breathable metal-coated textiles are critical building block
materials for future wearable electronics. In order to enhance the metal adhesion on the …

Advanced manufacturing strategies have enabled large‐scale, economical, and efficient
production of electronic components that are an integral part of various consumer products …

A novel palladium-free and environmentally friendly surface activation process for Ni
electroless plating was studied. The activation was carried out by immobilizing Ni …

Different polymer substrates were copper-plated by electroless deposition without using the
Pd-based conventional catalyst to initiate the redox reaction. The principle of the process is …

An environment-friendly surface etching and activation technics for acrylonitrile–butadiene–
styrene (ABS) surface metallization were investigated as a replacement for conventional …

We describe a high-resolution patterning approach that combines the spatial control
inherent to laser direct writing with the versatility of benchtop chemical synthesis. By taking …

Ni films were electrolessly deposited on the surface of different polymer substrates without
having to use the conventional palladium catalyst to initiate the redox reaction leading to …
