METHOD OF METALLIZATION OF PLANTS AND INSECTS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC C23C28/02 C25D5/54 

FIELD: galvanoplastics; methods of production of art articles.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the field of galvanoplastics and may be used at manufacture of the art articles. The method provides for sensitization of the surfaces of the model in the solution of stannum chloride (II) with addition of hydrochloric acid, chemical metallization and galvanic copper coating. At that before the sensitization the surface of the model wetted with solution of stannum chloride stannum (II), then the model is coated with the layer of the acrylic lacquer, and after sensitizations conduct hydrolysis. At that the chemical metallization is conducted in the solution of silvering in the following composition of components (in g/l): silver nitrate - 2; 25 % ammonia water solution - 10; 10 % caustic potassium water solution - 18; and at galvanic copper coating apply a current of the low cathode density of 0.5 A/dm². The technical result: the invention allows to realize metallization of the ill- wettable surfaces of plants and insects, to improved quality of metallization of insects and plants.

EFFECT: the invention allows to realize metallization of the ill- wettable surfaces of plants and insects, to improved quality of metallization of insects and plants.
