Plastic is known as a material with a surface that has low adherence to metal, and adhesion to materials with complicated structures such as mesh is even more difficult. Nafitec® plans to solve this problem.
In our experiment, a Nafitec-treated mesh is placed in a water solution in which gold has been dissolved using a special method, and a reaction occurs. After a certain period of time, if the color of the mesh changes slightly, the gold has successfully adhered to the mesh. A gold catalyst appears purple on a nano scale.
