Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for applying a metal layer to a substrate by chemical and/or galvanic deposition of a metal from a metal salt solution, an essential feature being that the substrate surface comprises carbon nanotubes. The invention further relates to the use of carbon nanotubes for applying a metal layer to a substrate.
Abstract:
Method for producing electrically conductive, structured or whole-area surfaces on a carrier, in which a first step involves applying a structured or whole-area base layer to the carrier with a dispersion containing electrically conductive particles in a matrix material, a second step involves at least partly curing or drying the matrix material, a third step involves uncovering the electrically conductive particles by at least partly breaking up the matrix, and a fourth step involves forming a metal layer on the structured or whole-area base layer by means of electroless or electrolytic coating.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dispersion for applying a metal layer to an electrically non-conductive substrate containing an organic binder component, a metal component with different metals and/or metal particle shapes, and a solvent component. The invention further relates to methods for producing said dispersion, methods for creating an optionally structured metal layer with the aid of the dispersion, the obtained substrate surfaces, and the use thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition for producing a thermal insulation coating, which comprises at least one radiation-absorbing compound and at least one IR reflector constituent. The invention also relates to a thermal insulation coating comprising the aforementioned oriented and cured composition, and to a method for the production thereof.
