Abstract
An additive manufacturing process for forming a metallic layer on the surface of the substrate includes fabricating a substrate from a polymerizable composition by a stereolithographic process, and contacting the reactive surface with an aqueous solution including a metal precursor. The metal precursor includes a metal, and the polymerizable composition includes a multiplicity of multifunctional components. Each multifunctional component includes a reactive moiety extending from a surface of the substrate to form a reactive surface. An interface between the reactive surface and the aqueous solution is selectively irradiated to form nanoparticles including the metal in a desired pattern. The nanoparticles are chemically coupled to the reactive surface by reactive moieties, thereby forming a metallic layer on the surface of the substrate.
