Abstract:
Provided is a surface-metalized polymer article comprising a polymer component having a surface, a first layer of combined multiple graphene sheets and an optional 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. In certain embodiments, this article is selected from a vehicle component, an electronic appliance, an electronic device, a food packaging film or bag, a protective clothing, an antistatic film or bag, a susceptor in microwave cooking, a blanket, an anti-reflection accessary, a toy, a product label, a mailer, a sports card, a greeting card, a solar control window film, or a stamping foil.

Claim (Index 1):
A surface-metalized polymer article comprising a polymer component having a surface, a first layer composed of multiple graphene sheets and an optional conducive filler coated on said polymer component surface, and a second layer of a plated metal deposited on said first layer, 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 multiple graphene sheets and said conductive filler are bonded to said polymer component surface with an adhesive resin and said first layer has a thickness from 0.34 nm to 30 \u03bcm, wherein said surface-metalized polymer article is not a bathroom or kitchen fitting and is selected from a vehicle component, an electronic appliance, an electronic device, a food packaging film or bag, a protective clothing, an antistatic film or bag, a susceptor in microwave cooking, a blanket, an anti-reflection accessary, a children's toy, a product label, a mailer, a sports card, a greeting card, a solar control window film, or a stamping foil.
