Galphade,

Electroless plating is an electro-chemical reaction that only happen on a
conductive surface.  There are ways to deposit a thin layer of metal film
on non-conductive surfaces buy immersing parts into solutions.  You can
find a lot information in some old books on plating.

Good luck

Dear Sirs,


I am doing experiment to study the behaviour of electroless Cu plated
sintered Sic and SiO2 powders. I am able to do electroless plating of Cu on
SiC but finding difficulty to electroless plating on SiO2 powder. Could you
please help me in this regard.


Thanking You.
