Features of the production of metal-filled composites by metallization of polymeric raw materials

The paper presents the results of studies on the features of obtaining of metal-filled polymer composites. In order to obtain metal-filled polymer composites, the technology of metallization of the polymeric surface of the raw material was used. The first stage of the developed technology was the activation of the surface of the initial polymeric raw material; second - the metallization of the activated surface in solutions of chemical recovery, which allows to obtain polymer composites with nano-scale metallic fillers. The obtained results allow to establish optimal conditions and to effectively influence the process of metal recovery on the activated polymer surface in solutions of chemical metallization. By changing the conditions of metal deposition on a polymer surface, it is possible to control the content, shape and size of metal particles in polymeric composites obtained from such materials and therefore to affect their properties.
