A method of selectively electrolessly depositing a metal onto a substrate having a metallic microstructured surface is disclosed. The method forms a self-assembled monolayer on the metallic microstructured surface, exposes the self-assembled monolayer to an electroless plating solution comprising a soluble form of the deposited metal, and selectively deposits the electroless deposition on the metallic microstructured surface. It involves making. Also disclosed is an article formed from the method.n n n n Electroless plating, metals, microstructured surfaces, self-assembled monolayers |
