Abstract
A molding composition comprising a polycarbonate resin and plating modifier was found to be suitable for preparing metal coated articles where the metal coating is deposited by an electroless process. The plating modifier in accordance with the invention is at least one member selected from the group consisting of a polyanhydride, and a monovinyl aromatic-acrylonitrile copolymer. An advantageous embodiment of the invention includes incorporating in the molding composition a flame retarding amount of a conventional flame retarding agent for polycarbonate compositions.
