Abstract
A process for electroplating a substrate by coating the substrate with a porous coating of conductive particles having a reducing agent within its pores and electroplating over said coating. The reducing agent causes formation of an initial electroless metal deposit over the conductive particle coating thus enhancing its conductivity. The process is especially useful for the fabrication of printed circuit boards.
