METHOD FOR PREPARING A METALLISED SUBSTRATE, THE RESULTING SUBSTRATE AND THE USES THEREOF
The invention relates to a method for preparing a metallised substrate, comprising the following steps consisting in: grafting a polymer-type compound to the substrate, said compound optionally having a group capable of chelating at least one metal ion; bringing the aforementioned compound, which is capable of chelating at least one metal ion, into contact with at least one metal ion, exposing said polymer-type compound to conditions that allow the reduction of the chelated metal ion(s) and repeating the chelation/reduction steps until a metallised substrate is obtained. The invention also relates to the resulting substrates and to the uses thereof.
