Abstract
This disclosure relates to materials prepared using a laser-direct structuring (LDS) method. The LDS materials of the present disclosure comprise polymeric film or polymeric sheet structures containing a LDS additive and which can undergo laser-direct structuring and chemical plating to form conductive paths on their surface. The present disclosure finds use, for example, in the automotive, electronics, RFID, communications, and medical device industries.
Claims20
A polymeric sheet comprising:
- a first cap layer comprising a first laser-direct structuring (LDS) additive, and
- a base layer;
- wherein said first cap layer contacts said base layer.
A single-layer polymeric film comprising a LDS additive wherein said single-layer polymeric film has a thickness in the range of from about 10 μm to about 12,500 μm.
