Provided is a method of manufacturing a resin member. The method includes irradiating a surface of a member containing a resin and a plant powder dispersed in the resin with laser light to change the plant powder or both the resin and the plant powder into diamond-like carbon in a surface layer region including the surface of the member.

A method of providing a foamed insulation coating on at least a portion of a pipe, including extruding a melt stream over the pipe portion. The melt stream includes a matrix polymer and expandable fillers in an unexpanded state, the melt stream being maintained at a sufficiently high temperature to maintain the matrix polymer in extrudable form and at a sufficiently high pressure to maintain the expandable fillers in the unexpanded state. Once extruded, the expandable fillers are permitted to expand into an expanded state at a lower pressure.

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.

A method of preparing a solution capable of etching a platable plastic. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing an electrolyte comprising a solution of manganese(II) in a solution of 9 to 15 molar sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid to an electrolytic cell; (b) applying a current to the electrolytic cell, wherein the electrolytic cell comprises an anode and a cathode; and (c) oxidizing the electrolyte to form manganese(III) ions, wherein the manganese(III) ions form a metastable sulfate complex. Thereafter, a platable plastic may be immersed in the metastable sulfate complex for a period of time to etch the platable substrate prior to subsequent plating steps.
