The composition includes a crystallizable glass frit and seed powder. The crystallized glass frit includes precursors from which Zn.sub.2 SiO.sub.4 can be crystallized upon firing of the composition. The seed powder causes at least a portion of the precursors to crystallize upon firing such that during firing at least a portion of the crystallizable glass frit yields crystallized Zn.sub.2 SiO.sub.4 formed by the precursors. Preferably, the precursors contain 30-75 wt %/5-20 wt % SiO.sub.2, and the seed powder contains crystalline Zn.sub.2 SiO.sub.4.

    Abstract: This application is directed to a process of forming a laminate. The steps include providing a glass and a metal foil of either deoxidized copper alloy or oxygen-free copper alloy. The glass is heated at a temperature of between about 600.degree. to about 1025.degree. C. with a viscosity between about 10.sup.3 to about 10.sup.8 poise. Then it is pressed against the foil and cooled to chemically bond it to the foil and form a laminate of a metal foil and a substantially pore-free glass.
