Abstract

The present invention relates to a treatment for improving the laminate adhesion of metal and metal alloy materials, particularly copper and copper alloy foils. The treatment comprises electrolytically forming a plurality of dendrites on a surface of the metal or metal alloy material and bonding the dendrites thereto. The dendrites are formed on and bonded to the metal or metal alloy material surface by one or more treatment anodes positioned at an angle to the material being treated and a single current source.
