Definitions

  • This invention relates to a screen-printable syrup and a method of firing this syrup to form a MgO film.
  • British patent specification 1,455,148 discloses a method of forming a metallic (magnesium oxide) coating on a substrate wherein a solution of one or more metal acetates, halides and nitrates in an aprotic solvent having a dielectric constant greater than 15 and a dipole moment greater than 3 D is applied to the substrate and the metal compound (magnesium acetate) is pyrolyzed to form a transparent film of the metal oxide (magnesium oxide).
  • M. O. Aboelfotoh and J. A. Lorenzen, "Influence of Secondary-Electron Emission from MgO Surfaces on Voltage-Breakdown Curves in Penning Mixtures for Insulated-Electrode Dischargers", J. Appl. Phys., Vol. 48, No. 11, 4754-4759 (1977) discloses the formation of a MgO film on the surface of an a-c plasma display panel by sputtering, which involves use of an electron gun to volatilize a magnesium compound and then deposit it as a MgO film on the surface of the panel to a thickness of about 3000 A.
  • the disadvantage of this method of forming the MgO film is that sputtering is expensive.
  • the present invention provides an anhydrous screen-printable syrup, comprising (a) an anhydrous organic magnesium compound pyrolyzable to a MgO film below 450°C and (b) an organic solvent, characterized in that the syrup further contains (c) a non carboxylated cellulosic polymer pyrolyzable below 450°C and in that the magnesium compound (a) and the polymer (c) are dissolved in the solvent (b) which is a non aqueous alcohol solvent, the syrup having a Brookfield viscosity of 3-200 Pa-S and provides further a more economical method of forming a film of MgO on a surface.
  • the process of the invention for forming a MgO film on a surface is conducted by (a) screenprinting thereto a thin layer of the syrup of the invention, (b) drying the layer, and (c) firing the dried layer at a temperature below 450°C to volatilize the solvent (b) and to pyrolyze the thickener (c) and the organic magnesium compound (a).
  • This process is useful in place of sputtering to form an MgO film on the surface of an a-c plasma display panel.
  • composition of the present invention contains three essential ingredients, (a) an anhydrous organic magnesium compound pyrolyzable to a MgO film below 450°C, (b) a non-aqueous alcohol solvent and (c) a non-carboxylated cellulosic polymer pyrolyzable below 450°C, the syrup having a Brookfield-viscosity of 3-200 Pa-S.
  • anhydrous organic magnesium compound pyrolyzable to a MgO film below 450°C
  • a non-aqueous alcohol solvent a non-carboxylated cellulosic polymer pyrolyzable below 450°C
  • the syrup having a Brookfield-viscosity of 3-200 Pa-S.
  • the organic magnesium compound is selected so that it is pyrolyzable to MgO film and is soluble in the organic solvent used at ordinary room temperature. Selection of the organic magnesium compound can be subject to the pyrolysis temperature that can be used. For example, current surfaces of a-c plasma displays are made of lead-rich glass which undergoes a glass transition at a temperature above 450°C. To avoid this transition, the organic magnesium compound is pyrolyzable to MgO film at a temperature below 450°C.
  • magnesium organic compounds examples include the oxygen-containing organic magnesium compounds such as magnesium carboxylates e.g. magnesium cyclohexanebutyrate, magnesium diketones, e.g. magnesium acetylacetonate, and magnesium alcoholates, e.g., magnesiumethoxide.
  • oxygen-containing organic magnesium compounds such as magnesium carboxylates e.g. magnesium cyclohexanebutyrate, magnesium diketones, e.g. magnesium acetylacetonate, and magnesium alcoholates, e.g., magnesiumethoxide.
  • magnesium carboxylates e.g. magnesium cyclohexanebutyrate
  • magnesium diketones e.g. magnesium acetylacetonate
  • magnesium alcoholates e.g., magnesiumethoxide.
  • all the atoms bound to the magnesium atom in the compound are oxygen atoms and organic carbon atoms are bound to these oxygen atoms.
  • the organic solvent component is selected so as to dissolve the remaining components of the syrup and to depart from the syrup without leaving any detectable residue during pyrolysis. Typically, most or all of the solvent will evaporate in a drying step preceding any heating to pyrolyze other components of the syrup. Such heating will also volatilize any remaining solvent.
  • solvents examples include the glycol ethers, such as the Cellosolves@, e.g., methyl, butyl and hexyl, the Carbitols@, e.g., methyl, butyl, and hexyl, and the triglycols, e.g., methoxy, ethoxy, and butoxy, the alcohols, such as butanol and isopropanol, and the acetates, such as butyl carbitol acetate.
  • glycol ethers such as the Cellosolves@, e.g., methyl, butyl and hexyl
  • Carbitols@ e.g., methyl, butyl, and hexyl
  • triglycols e.g., methoxy, ethoxy, and butoxy
  • the alcohols such as butanol and isopropanol
  • acetates such as butyl carbito
  • the organic polymer thickener is selected so as to dissolve in the solvent that also dissolves the organic magnesium compound and to pyrolyze leaving no detectable residue which would prevent formation of the MgO film or would color it.
  • thickeners are hydroxyethylcellulose, propoxyethylcellulose and ethylcellulose.
  • the organic polymer thickener pyrolyzes to no detectable residue at temperatures up to 450°C.
  • the syrup composition can be made by first dissolving the organic magnesium compound in the solvent and then dissolving the organic polymer thickener in the solution to get the syrup-like consistency desired. Without the organic polymer thickener, the solution would be too flowable to be screen printable. The polymer- free solution would just run through the screen onto the surface to be printed and then would spread out on such surface without producing the desired screen pattern.
  • the thickening effect provided by the organic polymer thickener limits the flowability of the resultant syrup so that it can be screen printed by conventional thick-film paste screen printing techniques to a faithful reproduction of the screen image on the surface on which the syrup is screen printed.
  • the organic magnesium compound and organic polymer thickener may not easily dissolve in the same solvent.
  • this compound easily dissolves in hexyl Carbitol@ but ethyl cellulose thickener does not dissolve until heated for about one hour at 155°C. in the solvent, whereupon the polymer rapidly goes into solution.
  • the syrup of the present invention is a solution, i.e., no solids are observable by the naked eye.
  • This syrup differs from the usual screen printing media, in that such media normally contain solids.
  • the organic polymer thickener generally imparts a viscosity of at least 3 Pa-S measured using a Brookfield viscometer at 10 rpm and 25°C. A viscosity greater than 200 Pa-S is generally not required.
  • the organic polymer thickener does thicken the syrup, it does not prevent the MgO film from being formed upon pyrolysis, i.e., not only must the organic portion of the magnesium compound pyrolyze to MgO, but the organic polymer thickener must also pyrolyze at the same time without preventing formation of the MgO film.
  • the pyrolysis products of the magnesium compound, except for MgO, and the organic polymer thickener, and any residue of the solvent after drying are volatile at the pyrolysis temperature used, so as to yield the colorless, transparent MgO film.
  • the syrup of the present invention has a viscosity of from 10 Pa-S to 50 Pa-S.
  • the syrup of the present invention will typically contain from 1 to 15% organic magnesium compound, 5 to 20% organic polymer thickener, and 65 to 90% solvent, all percents being by weight based on the total weight of these three components.
  • Preferred compositions contain 4 to 8%, 6 to 15%, and 75 to 85% of organic magnesium compound, organic polymer thickener, and organic solvent, respectively.
  • the amount of thickener is selected to give the syrup the viscosity desired; such amount will vary with the particular thickener selected and the inherent viscosity of the thickener.
  • the proportion of components and viscosity are selected so as to give an MgO film upon screen printing and pyrolysis of at least about 1000 A.
  • shelf life storage stability
  • the components of the syrup are dried, preferably before combining into the composition. Drying can be done by heating and/or desiccation of each component.
  • Organic magnesium compounds are available in hydrated form; the drying should remove the water of hydration from the compound.
  • Solvents such as alcohols typically contain water, and this is most readily removed by desiccation in the presence of a desciccant such as CaCI 2 or mixing CaH 2 with the solvent at near its boiling point, followed by filtering out the CaH 2 particles.
  • the resultant anhydrous or dried syrup has shelf life in excess of two months, whereas without drying, solids begin to appear after about three weeks storage.
  • a preferred a-c plasma display panel is made by firing a thick silver conductor composition after printing in a conductor line pattern into a substrate, the composition comprising: (A) 50-85% of the weight of the composition, of silver particles of 0.05-20 micrometers in size; (B) 1-10% of the weight of the composition, of inorganic non-glass forming refractory materials or their precursors, such as aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, cobalt/iron/chromium oxide, aluminium and copper, having a particle size range of 0.05-44 micrometers with at least 80% by weight of the particles in the 0.1-5 micrometer range; (c) 5-20% of the weight of the composition, of glass frit having a softening point range of 325-600°C such as lead borosilicate-based glass; and (D) 10-30% of the weight of the composition, of vehicle such as a UV polymerizable solution of polymethyl methacrylate and a polyfunctional monomer or a non-UV polymerizable solution of
  • the overglaze composition preferably utilized contains a glass frit of the composition (mole %): PbO (68.2), Si0 2 (12.0), B 2 0 3 (14.1), and CdO (5.7), having a softening point of approximately 480°C.
  • the overglaze composition dispersed in an ethyl cellulose-based vehicle, is screen printed over the fired conductor, dried, and then fired at a temperature and for a time sufficient to produce a clear, smooth coating. It is on this coating that the syrup of the present invention is printed and pyrolyzed.
  • compositions and process of the present invention in which parts and percents are by weight unless otherwise indicated, are as follows:
  • Example 2- One gram of Mg acetylacetonate was dissolved in 25 ml n-hexyl Carbitol@ while stirring on a hot plate. Then 2 grams ethyl cellulose of Ex. 1 was added and dissolved after standing for about one hour. The resultant syrup had a viscosity estimated to be between 10 to 50 Pa-S and was printed on glass slides, dried, and then fired at 460°C in a box furnace for 1 hour. The MgO films looked good by microscopy. Interferometry on three films indicated smoothness averaging 777 A thick.
  • Example 3-Two grams of dried (125°C, 1 hour) Mg acetylacetonate was dissolved in 30 ml n-hexyl Carbitol by heating on a hot plate while stirring; 3 grams of ethyl cellulose of Ex. 1 was added and heating and stirring continued until dissolved. While hot, the solution was centrifuged to remove any undissolved material and impurities. The resultant syrup has a viscosity of about 50 Pa-S.
  • the syrup was tested by screen printing on microscope slides, allowed to level for about 10 minutes, dried 10 minutes at 120°C and fired on a belt furance with a 20 minute, 450°C peak temperature.
  • Thickness measurements shows 2058 A for two coats and 2711 A for three coats.
