Greener electrochemical plating of ABS polymer with unprecedented adhesion via hierarchical micro–nanotexturing

Electrochemical plating is the most widely used coating process for metalizing commodity polymers, such as acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS). Conventionally, ABS polymer is pretreated in concentrated sulfochromic acid solution before plating to develop a highly porous surface topography that ens...
