Abstract
Abstract Vehicles useful for thick film resistors fireable in nonoxidizing atmosphere, which are based on copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate, are provided. Pastes based on such vehicles, hexaboride conductors, and nonreducible glasses have high viscosity, good printability, and have no carbonaceous residue upon firing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A resistor and/or conductor composition consisting essentially of inorganic powder solids content dispersed in an organic vehicle wherein the weight ratio of solids content to vehicle is from 1:2 to 20:1 and wherein the solid content consists essentially of: A. 10-95 parts by weight, based on the weight of solids, of conductive material selected from the group consisting of LaB 6 , YB 6 , rare earth hexaborides, CaB 6 , BaB 6 and SrB 6 ; and B. 90-5 parts by weight, based on the weight of solids, of at least 98 mole%, based on the mole% of the oxide components of the glass, of nonreducible glass, each component having a Gibbs free energy of formation at 900° C. of less than approximately -78 kcal/mole per each metal-oxygen bond in the molecule; wherein the organic vehicle is based on copolymers of 57-74 mole% α-olefins of up to and including four carbon atoms and 26-43 mole% vinyl esters of acids containing up to and including four carbon atoms, said copolymers are soluble in solvents suitable for thick film printing; and wherein the composition is fireable in substantially nonoxidizing atmosphere.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
