Abstract
A process for metallizing a substrate part includes the following three steps: coating the part with a precursor composite material layer consisting of a polymer matrix doped with photoreducer material dielectric particles, irradiating the surface to be metallized of the substrate part with a light beam emitted by a laser, and immersing the irradiated part in an autocatalytic bath containing metal ions, with deposition of the latter in a layer on the irradiated surface. The dimension of the dielectric particles is less than or equal to 0.5 microns. The method is intended in particular for producing a metallized part including a substrate part consisting of a flexible film.
