TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Composition: The paste composition comprises 50-99 (preferably 70-99) wt.% metallic particles, 0.1-20 (preferably 0.5-5) wt.% glass frit, and 1-20 (preferably 5-15) wt.% organic vehicle. Preferred Components: The metallic particles are: silver, copper, gold, aluminum and/or nickel or its alloy, preferably silver; and spherical, flake shaped, and/or rod shaped. The metallic particles have a particle size (d50) of 0.1-10 mu m, and a specific surface area of 0.1-5 m2/g. The glass fit comprises 0.1-30 (preferably 5-10) wt.% tungsten or a tungsten-containing compound, 10-99 (preferably 75-85) wt.% lead oxide, and 0.1-15 (preferably 5-10) wt.% silicon dioxide. The tungsten-containing compound is tungsten oxide. The glass further comprises tellurium dioxide, lithium oxide and phosphorus oxide, and comprises 0.1-25 mole% of tellurium dioxide. The glass frit comprises 1-10 (preferably 4-6) mole% of tungsten or a tungsten-containing compound, 50-75 (preferably 58-70) mole% of lead oxide, 20-30 mole% of silicon dioxide, 1-10 (preferably 5-7) mole% of alumina, and 1-4 (preferably 2) mole% of zinc oxide. EXAMPLE - Raw materials comprised of 82 wt.% lead oxide, 7.19 wt.% silica, 3.02 wt.% alumina, 0.96 wt.% zinc oxide and 6.82 wt.% tungsten oxide were mixed in a pestle and mortar. The reaction mixture was then transferred in an alumina crucible and melted at 900-1200 degrees C in an electric furnace. The melt was poured in water to form glass frits. These glass frits were transferred into a sintered aluminum oxide grinding jar containing yttrium stabilized zirconia grinding beads (ball type) with median size of 0.8 mm. Dry or wet milling to the desired glass particle size was carried out by spinning this sintered aluminum oxide grinding jar containing the milling mixture in a planetary ball mill. The rotation speed was 30-300 per minute. Thus the glass-A was obtained. 1.8 wt.% Glass-A was then mixed with 88 wt.% silver, 9.1 wt.% organic vehicle, 0.7 wt.% tellurium dioxide additive, 0.2 wt.% zinc oxide additive, 0.1 wt.% lithium oxide additive and 0.1 wt.% phosphorus pentoxide additive to form the paste composition (paste-A). The components were placed in a plastic vial and premixed for five minutes in a high energy shaker-mill model 8000M mixer/mill. This mixture was then milled in a three-roll mill. The gap between the rollers was maintained at 5-25 mu m and the speed was 20-300 rpm. Each sample was passed at least 4 times through the mill to provide a homogeneous paste. Thus the electroconductive paste composition was obtained.
