Abstract
A method for metallizing a polymeric substrate is disclosed. The method includes contacting a surface of an etched polymeric substrate with a silane coupling agent and depositing a metallic layer over the surface. The silane coupling agent forms a chemical linkage between the substrate and the metallic layer. A coupling agent composition and a metallized polymeric substrate are also described.
