Abstract (en)

A method of manufacturing an RF slip ring consisting of an outer ring of epoxy resin plastics material wherein the epoxy resin includes a filler of alkali material, e.g. calcium carbonate such that when the plastics material is machined to expose the alkali particles and subsequently immersed in an etchant containing acid, e.g. hydrochloric acid, a violent reaction occurs between the alkali and the acid to cause micro-pitting of the surface of the plastics material thereby providing a keying surface for an electro-less plating e.g. copper to adhere to the surface and be effectively retained thereon, the electro-less plating being overlaid with a noble metal, e.g. gold.
