title: Grafting of polyelectrolytes onto hydrocarbon surfaces by high-energy hydrogen induced cross-linking for making metallized polymer films.
abstract: Polyelectrolytes were grafted onto hydrocarbon surfaces by a dry-process and chemical-free approach using hydrogen projectiles with high kinetic energy but properly controlled to selectively cleave C-H bonds, on which electroless plating was carried out after loading Pd moieties by ion exchange, resulting in high quality metalized polymer films with excellent conductivity and mechanical stability.
