Metallization of Nonconducting Porous Substrates U.S. Patent 5,595,787. Jan. 21, i997 H. Kistrup and 0. Imhof, assignor to Deufsche Automobil GmbH. Germany

A process for chemical metalliiation of electrically nonconducting porous needle felt substrates having a porosity of from 40 to 97%, comprising the steps of activating fiber surfaces of the substrates with a noble metal containing solution, placmg the activated substrates in at least four layers, one above the other, in a metallizing tank whereby the lower layers are immediately brought into contact with a chemical metallizing solution and the remaining layers are initially not filled with the chemical metallizing solution and chemically metallizing the activated sub- strates by adding an initial volume of the chemical metallizing solution, which is from

10 to 30% less than the free pore volume of the substrates and thereafter Increasing the initial volume by evolution of gas to till the remaining layers.
