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 36):
A graphene-conductive filler dispersion for use in metallization of a polymer surface through the method of  claim 26 , said dispersion comprising multiple graphene sheets and a conductive filler dispersed in a liquid medium wherein said multiple graphene sheets contain single-layer or few-layer graphene sheets selected from a pristine graphene material having essentially zero % of non-carbon elements, or a non-pristine graphene material having 0.001% to 25% by weight of non-carbon elements wherein said non-pristine graphene is selected from graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, graphene fluoride, graphene chloride, graphene bromide, graphene iodide, hydrogenated graphene, nitrogenated graphene, doped graphene, chemically functionalized graphene, or a combination thereof, and wherein said dispersion further contains one or multiple species selected from (i) an adhesive resin dissolved or dispersed in said liquid medium, wherein an adhesive-to-graphene weight ratio is from 1/5000 to 1/10; (ii) an etchant selected from an acid, an oxidizer, a metal salt, or a combination thereof; (iii) nanoscaled particles or coating of a catalytic metal, having a diameter or thickness from 0.5 nm to 100 nm, selected from cobalt, nickel, copper, iron, manganese, tin, zinc, lead, bismuth, silver, gold, palladium, platinum, an alloy thereof, or a combination thereof; or (iv) a combination thereof.
