The surface modification and activation effects were assessed by optical-imagining as well as by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive analysis (EDX). It was found that the presence of Sb2O3 in the coating made it possible to reduce the content of the copper complex, causing an intensive surface ablation, resulting in the formation of a conical structure with a higher content of metallic copper nuclei.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15155155","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,25]],"date-time":"2022-07-25T21:20:59Z","timestamp":1658784059000},"page":"5155","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Effect of Antimony (III) Oxide on the Necessary Amount of Precursors Used in Laser-Activated Coatings Intended for Electroless Metallization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8574-0742","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bart\u0142omiej","family":"Jagodzi\u0144ski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Engineering, Kazimierz Wielki University, 85-064 Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Piotr","family":"Rytlewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Engineering, Kazimierz Wielki University, 85-064 Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4188-8408","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Krzysztof","family":"Moraczewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Engineering, Kazimierz Wielki University, 85-064 Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8191-7413","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrzej","family":"Trafarski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Engineering, Kazimierz Wielki University, 85-064 Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Karasiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Engineering, Kazimierz Wielki University, 85-064 Bydgoszcz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2075","DOI":"10.1021\/acsami.7b15726","article-title":"Electroless Deposition Metals on Poly(dimethylsiloxane) with Strong Adhesion as Flexible and Stretchable Conductive Materials","volume":"10","author":"Zhang","year":"2018","journal-title":"ACS Appl.
