Surface-metallized polyimide material and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a surface-metallized polyimide material includes performing an alkaline treatment on a surface of a polyimide material to cause ring opening of the polyimide material on the surface; the surface of the polyimide material being subject to an ion exchange process for being displaced by a first metal ion exclusive of palladium ion, gold ion, silver ion, and copper ion; and performing a wet reduction process to reduce the first metal ion on the surface of the polyimide material into a first metal that adheres to the surface of the polyimide material. A surface-metallized polyimide material produced according to the aforementioned method is also disclosed.
