Abstract

A method of improving adhesion between the surface of a substrate and a metal deposit electrolessly plated thereon by forming a novel adhesive material layer comprising (A) a rubber material and (B) a thermosetting resin which is present in a proportion defined by the formula 20.ltoreq.(B)/(A)+(B).ltoreq.85 volume %. In the adhesive layer the thermosetting resin is dispersed, in the form of substantially spherical particles of 0.5 to 15.mu., in the continuous phase of the rubber material. The method is useful for producing printed circuit boards having a high precision and high accuracy pattern circuit. Further, the method is extremely advantageous when it is applied to the so-called photo-forming process since disappearance of the catalyst nuclei on the circuit pattern image can be eliminated.
