Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A solution including a precious metal nanoparticle and a polymer polymerized from at least two monomers, (1) a monomer having two or more carboxyl groups or carboxyl acid salt groups and (2) a monomer which has π electron-available features. The solution is useful for a catalyst of a process for electroless plating a metal on non-conductive surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A solution consisting of precious metal nanoparticles from precious metal sources, a solvent selected from the group consisting of water, alcohol and mixtures thereof, a reducing agent, and a polymer, wherein the polymer is polymerized from two monomers, (1) a monomer having two or more carboxyl groups or carboxyl acid salt groups and (2) a monomer which has π electron-available features, wherein a mole ratio of monomer (1) to monomer (2) is from 0.1 to 10, and one or more additives selected from the group consisting of buffers, and pH adjusting agents, wherein the solution has at least two pKa values. 2. The solution of claim 1 , wherein the monomer (2) is selected from the group consisting of aromatic vinyl monomer and alkadiene. 3. The solution of claim 1 , wherein the monomer (2) is selected from the group consisting of styrene, substituted styrene and butadiene. 4. The solution of claim 1 , wherein the monomer (1) is maleic acid or salts thereof. 5. The solution of claim 1 , wherein the precious metal nanoparticles are divalent metal. 6. The solution of claim 5 , wherein the precious metal nanoparticles are palladium. 7. The solution of claim 1 , wherein the mole ratio of the monomer (1) to the monomer (2) is from 0.5 to 2. 8. The solution of claim 1 , wherein the polymer has a molecular weight (Mw) of 400 to 700,000. 9. The solution of claim 8 , wherein the polymer has a molecular weight (Mw) of 800 to 10,000.
