Abstract:
Provided is a surface-metalized polymer article comprising a polymer component having a surface, a first layer of combined multiple graphene sheets and a conductive filler (e.g. metal nanowires or carbon nanofibers) coated on the polymer component surface, and a second layer of a plated metal deposited on the first layer, wherein the multiple graphene sheets contain single-layer or few-layer graphene, and wherein the multiple graphene sheets and conductive filler are bonded to the polymer component surface with or without an adhesive resin.

Claim (Index 26):
A method of producing the surface-metalized polymer article of  claim 1 , said method comprising:\n a) providing a graphene-conductive filler mixture dispersion comprising multiple graphene sheets and a conductive filler dispersed in a liquid medium and an adhesive resin having an adhesive to graphene ratio from 1/5000 to 1/10, bringing a surface of a polymer component into contact with said dispersion and facilitating deposition of said multiple graphene sheets and said conductive filler onto said surface of said polymer component wherein said multiple graphene sheets and said conductive filler are bonded by said adhesive to said surface to form a layer of bonded graphene sheets and conductive filler that covers said polymer component surface; and b) chemically, physically, electrochemically or electrolytically depositing a layer of a metal onto said covered polymer component surface to form said surface-metalized polymer article.
