The present invention relates to a method for producing an electrically conductive structure, in particular a conductive track, on a nonconductive substrate material comprising an additive (1) having at least one metal compound. To this end, the substrate material is irradiated with a laser to selectively activate, for example, inorganic metal compounds contained in the additive (1). The metal seeds formed through the activation are then metallized to produce the electrically conductive structure on the substrate material. A coating over the entire surface, in particular over the entire surface, is provided to the additive (1) so that the additive (1) is reduced through laser activation and the coating is oxidized so that the necessary chemistry Reaction partners essential for the reaction are provided by the coating. Thereby, due to the significantly reduced interaction with the substrate material, there are no restrictions on certain plastics or plastic groups at the same time. |
