Heat-resistant organic molecular layer as a joint interface for metal reduction on plastics surfaces

- In situ adsorption behaviors of TES on PA6 surface were clarified by QCM.
- Highest adsorption of TES on PA6 was obtained in pH 3 and 0.1 M solution.
- Molecular layers of TES with uniform structures were prepared on PA6 surface.
- TES layer improved PA6 local heat resistance from 150 °C to 230 °C.
- TES molecular layer successfully reduced Ag ion to Ag0.
