A novel and facile surface activation for electroless nickel plating was proposed, avoiding complex surface functionalization or pretreatment. The samples were characterized by XPS, TEM, XRD and SEM. The results indicated that the coatings of Ni/PS microspheres were smooth, compact and uniform, and the Ni coatings thickness was about 0.15 mu m. It can be concluded that the novel surface activation was effective for the uniform nickel deposition on the surfaces of PS microspheres, due to more palladium catalytic active sites generated on PS microspheres surfaces.
