Abstract
A glass composition, a macrocomposite, and methods of forming the macrocomposite including dispersing or immersing a metal in a glass. Preferably, the macrocomposite does not include an organic resin, an adhesive, or a polymer.
Claims20
A composition comprising a metal and glass, wherein the glass comprises ZnO and P2O5;
- wherein the metal comprises gold or a gold alloy or both;
- wherein the metal is dispersed or immersed in the glass;
- and
- wherein the metal has a volume of greater than 0.1 mm3.

A macrocomposite prepared by a method comprising:
- dispersing or immersing a metal in a glass, wherein the metal has a volume of greater than 0.1 mm3;
- and
- annealing the glass after the metal is dispersed or immersed in the glass;
- wherein the metal comprises gold or a gold alloy or both;
- wherein the glass has a thermal expansion coefficient in a range of 120×10−7 K−1 to 175×10−7 K−1;
- and
- wherein the macrocomposite does not comprise an organic resin, an adhesive, or a polymer.
