ABSTRACT:
A process for promoting the adhesion of metal to thermoplastic substrates such as polyetherimides. The improvement comprises conditioning the substrate by treating with an inorganic hydroxide solution prior to subsequent steps of etching and deposition of a metal coating. Use of the conditioner promotes increased adhesion between the substrate and the metal without loss of flexural strength of the substrate throughout subsequent processing steps.
