Plating Pretreatment method by expansion and destruction of the Glass Filler of Polyphenylene Sulfide（PPS）Resin Composites

A new plating pretreatment method on polyphenylene sulfide（PPS）resin surface with glass beads was studied. This method produced a PPS surface with micropores created via expansion and destruction of the glass beads caused by the reaction of oxalic acid and calcium. When plated, the micropores provided an anchor effect, consequently improving adhesion between the plating and PPS.
