A method of producing a film-attached resin base may include supplying a surface treatment gas including at least fluorine gas to a resin base including reinforcing fibers so that embrittled regions are formed in a surface of the resin base and the reinforcing fiber present near the surface of the resin base is modified at least partially; removing at least the embrittled regions so that an uneven surface is formed on the resin base and the reinforcing fiber is at least partially exposed in the uneven surface; and forming a film onto the uneven surface of the resin base.

A conductive fabric filter includes a non-woven fabric coated with copper by electroless plating, and the non-woven fabric has pores and is conductive.

The present disclosure relates to polyamide compositions and resulting injection-molded articles that can be plated, e.g., metal coated, to form structurally aesthetic injection-molded articles. The polyamide compositions may include from 40 wt. % to 80 wt. % of a polyamide, from 0.5 wt. % to 40 wt. % of an etchable filler, from 5 wt. % to 30 wt. % of glass fiber, optionally less than 40 wt. % of a semi-structural mineral, and optionally from 0.1 wt. % to 13 wt. % of additive. The polyamide composition imparts very good surface appearance and excellent mechanical properties to injection-molded articles that are substantially free of visual defects.

The present invention provides a method for producing a novel printed wiring board having much higher adhesion between a filler-containing insulating resin substrate and a plating film. The method comprises the steps of: subjecting a filler-containing insulating resin substrate to a swelling treatment; a roughening treatment; a reduction treatment; and electroless plating,
wherein the filler-containing insulating resin substrate after the reduction treatment is treated with a first treating solution and a second treating solution, and then is subjected to the electroless plating,
wherein the first treating solution has a pH of 7 or higher and comprises: at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene-based glycol ether represented by CmH(2m+1)-(OC.sub.2H.sub.4)n-OH, where m=an integer of 1 to 4, n=an integer of 1 to 4, and propylene-based glycol ether represented by CxH(2x+1)-(OC.sub.3H.sub.6)y-OH, where x=an integer of 1 to 4, y=an integer of 1 to 3, and
wherein the second treating solution has a pH of 7.0 or higher and comprises an amine-based silane coupling agent.

A method for fabricating a metallic wire mesh touch sensor with reduced visibility. A metallic wire mesh is formed on a transparent substrate such that the surface of the metallic wires is roughened or textured, so as to cause high scattering of incident light, thereby minimizing specularly reflected light towards the user. The metal lines are formed over patterned catalytic photoresist. The rough or textured surface of the metallic wires is achieved by roughening or texturing the catalytic photoresist, by selecting parameters of electronless plating of copper, or both. An RMS surface roughness of about 50 nm would scatter approximately 70% of incident cyan light incident at 30°.
