The composition for electroless plating comprises 9 wt% to 29 wt%, 9.7 wt% to 29 wt% of a first graft rubber copolymer comprising a polymerized form of at least one conjugated diene monomer and at least one monovinyl aromatic monomer , or from 10% to 29% by weight, from 70% to 90% by weight of ungrafted styrenic polymer, preferably from 70% to 89.7% by weight, more preferably from 70% to 85% by weight, having a particle size of 100 to 500 nanometers (nm) of one or more stabilizers and/or antioxidants in a total amount of 0.1% to 10% by weight, 0.1% to 5% by weight of a core/shell diene-based rubber, 0.1% to 2% by weight % of fatty acids or salts of fatty acids, mold release agents 0% to 5% by weight, metal oxides 0% to 1% by weight, lubricants 0% to 3% by weight and polycarbonate 0% to 20% by weight and weight % and ppm are based on the total weight of the composition. The composition may be formed into an article having a metallic coating electrolessly plated onto the composition. |
