Abstract: The method is provided for treating the surface of a polyetherimide substrate to improve its adhesion characteristics for electrolessly deposited metal, such as copper. There is employed a series of surface treatments including the initial immersion of the polyetherimide substrate in sulfuric acid, contact with aqueous base, such as potassium hydroxide, followed by oxidation with an alkali metal permanganate such as potassium permanganate, and surface treatment with a reducing agent, such as a hydroxylamine salt. Polyetherimide metal composites are also provided.

Abstract: A polyimide surface is pretreated in preparation for an adhesion promotion treatment and subsequent metallization on the surface, wherein the pretreatment comprises the steps of: (A) contacting the polyimide surface with an aqueous solution of nitric acid having a concentration of about 35 to about 70% by weight or an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid having a concentration of about 10 to about 38% by weight; (B) rinsing the acid-treated polyimide surface with water so as to substantially remove the acid from the surface of the polyimide; (C) contacting the rinsed polyimide surface with a mild etching agent, resulting in the formation of a residual film on the polyimide surface; (D) contacting the etched polyimide surface with a basic solution, and (E) removing the residual film formed on the surface of the polyimide after contact with the mild etching agent in step (C). The method of this invention allows both filled and unfilled polyimide substrates to be electroless plated in a consistent manner and provides improved adhesion between the polymer and subsequently deposited metals.

Abstract: An improved method for pretreating a polyimide surface in preparation for an adhesion promotion treatment and subsequent metallization is disclosed, wherein the pretreatment comprises mild etching of the surface, contact of the surface with a basic solution, and contact of the surface with a cationic surfactant which is capable of removing a residual film formed on the surface after the mild etching step. This invention further includes articles such as printed circuit boards, which comprise a polyimide substrate pretreated as described above and then treated with an adhesion promoter, wherein an electrolessly-applied metal layer is disposed on the substrate, and an electrolytically-applied metal layer free of chemical additives is disposed on the electrolessly-applied layer. The article may include an additional electrolytically-applied layer containing chemical additives and disposed on top of the first electrolytic layer.
