Fig. 7. (a) A schematic illustration showing the formation of a molecularly bonded interface between the polymer and metal coating; the procedures for constructing thiol groups and Ag coatings on liquid crystal polymer (LCP) surfaces, including corona treatment (shorted to Corona), nTES self-assembly on corona-activated LCP (C–nTES), UV-assisted pTES grafting (pTES), and nTES self-assembly on pTES grafted LCP (pTES–nTES). (b) The prepared Ag patterns on LCP. (c) A schematic drawing of the molecular bonding interface between LCP and the metal.
