Metal-coated glass fiber, production thereof and frp product using said fiber

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To obtain metal-coated glass fibers having an electromagnetic wave shielding effect and FRP products using the same with good operability, by reacting an electrically conductive metallic salt and a reducing agent with the surface of glass fibers to form electrically conductive films thereon. CONSTITUTION:An electroless plating solution containing a metallic salt capable of forming electrically conductive metallic films and a reducing agent is reacted with the surface of glass fibers to reduce the metallic salt and form the electrically conductive metallic films thereon. The metallic films are a metal or alloy such as Ni, Cu, Co, Fe, Ni-Cu, Ni-P, Co-P, Co-Ni-P, Fe-Ni, Fe-Co, etc., and the film thickness is about 0.1-100mum. The metal-coated glass fibers are individually molded, lined or inserted into a casing or cover, etc. having the electromagnetic wave shielding effect, etc. or further incorporated or inserted into a plastic, molded into FRP products and used as electromagnetic wave shielding parts.
