Abstract

Abstract Title Thick Film Silver Conductor Compositions For Fine Line Electrodes Abstract Thick film conductor compositions, based on finely divided silver, finely divided inorganic anti-fissuring materials, glass frit and organic vehicles are provided. The anti-fissuring materials prevent fissuring of fired metallizations during overglazing and allow the preparation of fine line electrodes useful in multilayer circuits and AC plasma display panels.
