Abstract
A process is described for metallizing materials such as plastics, glasses, ceramics and metals, in which (a) the material to be metallized is provided with a coating which contains intrinsically conductive polymer, (b) the intrinsically conductive polymer is activated by reduction and (c) the metal is applied to the material in a non-electrochemical manner by bringing the coated material into contact with a solution containing ions of the metal.
