Abstract
A process for metallising a polymeric surface of an article, the process including applying to the polymeric surface a liquid carrier containing a suspension of metallic or metal-looking particles, wherein the polymeric surface and the liquid carrier are such that the wetting angle between the liquid carrier and the polymeric surface is of substantially 90° or above, and wherein the particles and the polymeric surface are such that the particles have a greater affinity to the polymeric surface than to one another or to the liquid, whereby particles suspended in the liquid migrate to the interface between the liquid and the polymeric surface to form a monolayer coating of particles on the polymeric surface.
