SILVER POWDER AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

The present invention pertains to a silver powder which, when preparing a silver paste, exhibits excellent dispersibility in a solvent and which minimizes the generation of coarse powder particles such as flakes during kneading. The present invention provides a silver powder which exhibits a cohesive force of -0.2 to 0.7N/cm2, a compressibility of 20 to 50% as determined by powder-bed shear stress measurement, and a dibutyl phthalate absorption of 3.0 to 9.0ml/100g as determined according to JIS-K6217-4 method.
