Abstract
A method of metallizing materials by coating a substrate material with a hydrophilic composite material; electrolessly metal plating the hydrophilic composite material with a metal to render the surface conductive; followed by electroplating a metal onto the conductive surface. The method can, for example, be utilized to produce metallized foams, embossing plates for reproduction of grains and textures, and decorative coatings for substrate materials.
