Resin composite material and method of forming the same

Abstract

A resin composite material which comprises a resin base and a metal-element-containing ingredient disposed on the surface of the base and is obtained by a wet process, characterized by having no catalyst layers. The resin composite material is superior in adhesion between the resin base and the metal-element-containing ingredient and in evenness of the thickness of the metal-element-containing coating film to the resin composite materials obtained by conventional wet processes. The formation of the resin composite material necessitates neither etching nor electroless plating unlike the conventional wet processes. Consequently, the resin composite material can be easily produced without causing pollution attributable to these treatments, such as working atmosphere worsening and the pollution of the global environment.
