41. A method for making a photocurable silver composition, the method comprising:
-
a first step of combining and mixing an isobomyl acrylate monomer and a photoinitiator to create a first composition, the isobornyl acrylate monomer being present in an amount of about 2 to 16 weight percent, based on the total weight of the silver chloride composition, and the photoinitiator being present in an amount of about 1 to 15 weight percent, based on the total weight of the silver chloride composition;
a second step of combining with the first composition and mixing an acrylated epoxy oligomer and a flow promoting agent to create a second mixture, the acrylated epoxy oligomer being present in an amount of about 1 to 25 weight percent, based on the total weight of the silver chloride composition; and
a third step of combining with the second composition and mixing a silver powder and a silver chloride powder to create a third composition, the silver powder being present in an amount of about 20 to 60 weight percent, based on the total weight of the silver chloride composition, and the silver chloride powder being present in an amount of about 30 to 50 weight percent, based on the total weight of the silver chloride composition.

42. A method for making a photocurable silver composition, the method comprising:
-
a first step of combining and mixing an isobornyl acrylate monomer and a photoinitiator to create a first composition, the isobornyl acrylate monomer being present in an amount of about 2 to 16 weight percent, based on the total weight of the silver chloride composition, and the photoinitiator being present in an amount of about 1 to 15 weight percent, based on the total weight of the silver chloride composition;
a second step of combining with the first composition and mixing an aliphatic acrylated oligomer, an acrylated epoxy oligomer, and a flow promoting agent to create a second mixture, the aliphatic acrylated oligomer being present in an amount of about 0.1 to 15 weight percent, based on the total weight of the silver chloride composition, the acrylated epoxy oligomer being present in an amount of about 1 to 25 weight percent, based on the total weight of the silver chloride composition; and
a third step of combining with the second composition and mixing a silver powder and a silver chloride powder to create a third composition, the silver powder being present in an amount of about 20 to 60 weight percent, based on the total weight of the silver chloride composition, and the silver chloride powder being present in an amount of about 30 to 50 weight percent, based on the total weight of the silver chloride composition.
