Title: A simple, highly efficient route to electroless gold plating on complex 3D printed polyacrylate plastics

Journal Article · · ChemComm
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1039/c8cc05368e· OSTI ID:1474331

Here, compared to tedious, multi-step treatments for electroless gold plating of traditional thermoplastics, this communication describes a simpler three-step procedure for 3D printed crosslinked polyacrylate substrates. This allows for the synthesis of ultralight gold foam microlattice materials with great potential for architecture-sensitive applications in future energy, catalysis, and sensing.
