Abstract
A process for electroplating a substrate by coating the substrate with a coating of conductive particles. The coating of conductive particles is applied to the substrate from an aqueous dispersion containing a dissolution agent for metallic regions of the substrate. The dissolution agent removes the top surface of the metal as the conductive particle coating is formed thereby facilitating removal of the same from the metallic regions of the substrate.
