Hirosawa, assignor to NEC Corp., Tokyo A method of manufacturing a printed circuit board comprising forming a circuit layer on a board roughening a surface of the circuit layer; forming an insulating layer on the circuit layer having an opening exposing a viahole area of the first circuit layer; roughening a surface of the insulat- ing layer; subjecting only the exposed via- hole area of the circuit layer to a reduction process after roughening of the surface of the insulating layer; and applying an addi- tional plating to the printed circuit board without using a soft etching process prior to applying the additional plating. Mesh-Backed Abrasive U.S. Patent 5,578,343. Nov. 26, 1996 A.C. Gaeta et al., assignors to Norton Co., Worcester, Mass. A process for the production of a mesh- backed abrasive material, which comprises directly coating an unfinished greige mesh fabric in which at least 20% of the surface area is void with a solvent-free liquid maker coat comprising a binder component consisting essentially of a bifunctional ra- diation-curable adhesive; applying a coat- ing of abrasive grain to the maker coat; radiation curing the maker coat at least to the point at which it becomes solidified; applying a liquid-size coat comprising a thermally curable resin over the abrasive gram; and completing the cure of both maker and size coats. Primer Coating for Metal U.S. Patent 5,578,347. Nov. gi996 C. Chan, assignor to El. Du Pont de Nemours and Co., Wilmington, Del. A process for coating a metal substrate comprising applying to a clean substrate, one that has not been subject to an acid etch or acid anodization treatment, an aqueous solution of one or more uncopolymerized silanes; removing excess silane by finish- 108 METAL FINISHING ??
