Metallized films were prepared from the plating‐out method. Various metal powders with lower reduction potential were dispersed in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) aqueous solution dried to form a film, then treated with metal salt solutions having metal ions in the metal salt with higher reduction potential. Metallized PVA films exhibited low surface resistivity around 10 0 –10 1 Ω/cm 2 when using the plating‐out method. The surfaces of these films were shown to be metallized by means of X‐ray analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also studied. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 71: 1361–1365, 1999
