Abstract
A composition comprising finely divided particles of (a) an electrically-conductive material; (b) one or more inorganic binders; and (c) tin, wherein components (a), (b) and (c) are in a liquid vehicle, said composition being suitable for use in the manufacture of an electrically-conductive pattern on a substrate.
Claims12
A composition comprising finely divided particles of (a) an electrically-conductive material;
- (b) one or more inorganic binders;
- and (c) tin, wherein components (a), (b) and (c) are dispersed in a liquid vehicle and wherein component (c) comprises particles of a tin-containing alloy.
A process for the manufacture of an electrically-conductive pattern, said process comprising the steps of applying to a substrate a composition comprising finely divided particles of (a) an electrically-conductive material;
- (b) one or more inorganic binders;
- and (c) tin, said components (a), (b) and (c) being dispersed in a liquid vehicle, wherein component (c) comprises particles of a tin-containing alloy, and then firing the coated substrate to effect sintering of the finely-divided particles to the substrate.
An article comprising a substrate having on one or more surfaces thereof an electrically-conductive pattern, said conductive pattern comprising (a) an electrically-conductive material;
- (b) one or more inorganic binders;
- and (c) tin wherein component (c) comprises particles of a tin-containing alloy.
