Studies on the Preparation and Properties of Conductive Polymers .9. Using Photographic Developer to Prepare Metallized Conductive Polymer-Films
Poly(vinyl alcohol) metal chelate solutions were prepared by mixing silver nitrate with solutions of poly(vinyl alcohol), and films were prepared from these solutions. These poly(vinyl alcohol) metal chelate films were reduced by photographic developer. The silver ions in poly(vinyl alcohol) films were reduced to silver on the surface, and conductive polymer films were obtained.
