▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Producing a surface-metalized polymer film involves preparing a graphene dispersion comprising multiple graphene sheets and an optional conducive filler dispersed in a first liquid medium, which is an adhesive monomer or oligomer, or comprises a liquid adhesive monomer, oligomer or polymer dissolved in a liquid solvent. A continuous polymer film from a feeder roller or spool is fed into a graphene deposition zone, where the graphene dispersion is sprayed, painted, coated, cast, or printed to deposit the graphene sheets and optional conductive filler to a surface of the polymer film for forming a graphene-coated polymer film. The graphene-coated polymer film is moved into a metallization chamber which accommodates a plating solution for plating a layer of a desired metal onto the graphene-coated polymer film to obtain a surface-metalized polymer film. USE - Method for producing surface-metalized polymer film. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Producing a surface-metalized polymer film involves preparing a graphene dispersion comprising multiple graphene sheets and an optional conducive filler dispersed in a first liquid medium, which is an adhesive monomer or oligomer, or comprises a liquid adhesive monomer, oligomer or polymer dissolved in a liquid solvent. A continuous polymer film from a feeder roller or spool is fed into a graphene deposition zone, where the graphene dispersion is sprayed, painted, coated, cast, or printed to deposit the graphene sheets and optional conductive filler to a surface of the polymer film for forming a graphene-coated polymer film. The graphene-coated polymer film is moved into a metallization chamber which accommodates a plating solution for plating a layer of a desired metal onto the graphene-coated polymer film to obtain a surface-metalized polymer film. A winding roller is operated to collect the surface-metalized polymer film, where the multiple graphene sheets contain single-layer or multiple-layer graphene sheets selected from a pristine graphene material having essentially zero % of non-carbon elements, or a non-pristine graphene material having 0.001-25% by weight of non-carbon elements where the non-pristine graphene is selected from graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, graphene fluoride, graphene chloride, graphene bromide, graphene iodide, hydrogenated graphene, nitrogenated graphene, doped graphene, chemically functionalized graphene, or a combination.
