A process of electrolessly metallizing a body on the surface thereof with a metal coating incorporating particulate matter therein, which process comprises contacting the surface of said body with a stable electroless metallizing bath comprising a metal salt, an electroless reducing agent, a complexing agent, an electroless plating stabilizer, a quantity of particulate matter which is essentially insoluble or sparingly soluble in the metallizing bath, and a particulate matter stabilizer (PMS), and maintaining said particulate matter in suspension in said metallizing bath during the metallizing of said body for a time sufficient to produce a metallic coating with said particulate matter dispersed therein.

Composite electroless plating-solutions, processes, and articles thereof

Metallic surfaces are imparted to non-conductor substrates by an electroless plating process comprising contacting the substrate with colloidal composition comprising colloids of catalytic metals capable of electroless plating initiation and activator(s) capable of modifying and extending the useful life-time for the colloidal composition from further deterioration.

Activators for colloidal catalysts in electroless plating processes

Disclosed herein are processes for the electroless (chemical) plating of substrates incorporating polyelectrolytes to increase the catalytic site density prior to the electroless (chemical) metal deposition step.
