    Abstract: A process for creating a hybrid network of fibers comprises depositing a first polymer mixture (or solution) including a electroless plating initiator onto a collector. Simultaneously, a second polymer mixture (or solution) is deposited onto the collector while the first polymer mixture is being deposited. The second polymer mixture is not doped with a metal. A rate at which the first polymer mixture is deposited and a rate at which the second polymer mixture is deposited are controlled to control a ratio of metal-doped fibers and non-metal-doped fibers in a resulting hybrid network of fibers. The metal-doped fibers are created from the first polymer mixture and the non-metal-doped fibers are created from the second polymer mixture. After the fibers have been created, deposition of both the first polymer mixture and the second polymer mixture is stopped. The metal-doped fibers are metalized with a metal using electroless plating.

    Abstract: A method that forms a metal plating film having a thick film thickness by a solid phase method is provided. The present disclosure is a method that forms the metal plating films of a first metal and a second metal having an ionization tendency larger than an ionization tendency of the first metal. The method includes: depositing the second metal on a surface of a copper base material to form the plating film of the second metal; and depositing the first metal on a surface of the second metal by a solid electroless plating method to form the plating film of the first metal. The solid electroless plating method in the depositing of the first metal is performed using a laminated complex. The laminated complex includes a first substitution-type electroless plating bath, a solid electrolyte membrane, a copper base material, a third metal, a second substitution-type electroless plating bath, and an insulating polymer. The first substitution-type electroless plating bath contains ions of the first metal. The second metal is plated on the copper base material. The third metal has an ionization tendency larger than the ionization tendency of the first metal. The second substitution-type electroless plating bath contains ions of the first metal.
