Abstract
Improved articles are disclosed having a polymeric substrate containing a polymer, such as polyamide, and a metallic sulfide, such as copper sulfide, and a thin, uniform, and firmly adherent overlayer of an eletrodepositable metal, such as nickel. The metal overlayer may be continuous or selectively patterned over the polymeric substrate. The metal layer provides the articles with decorative, protective and electrically conductive characteristics without significantly diminishing polymeric properties.
