Abstract

Improved processes and systems are described for the reception of electroless plating of non-metallic substrates, the processes comprising forming a coating of metal ions onto the non-metallic substrate, immersing the coated substrate in a developer solution containing ions selected from nickel, cobalt and copper ions and mixtures thereof and a reducing agent, and thereafter immersing the substrate in conventional electroless plating baths, e.g., nickel or cobalt-hypophosphite baths or a copper-formaldehyde bath.
