China invents technology of printing using nano materials

Beijing. June 15. Silkroadnews - Chinese researchers mark a breakthrough in the printing industry, which can reduce the amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere when printing, China Daily reports.
Researchers from the Institute of Chemistry under the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a printing technology using nano material that can be used in many of the most important stages of the traditional printing process, including the manufacture of printing plates and ink.
The new technology will reduce millions of tonnes of liquid pollution and emissions of organic chemicals that are dangerous to human health.
It is expected that nanotechnology will lead to a “green revolution” in the printing industry.
“It will make China’s printing industry simpler, greener, and cheaper, with international competitiveness,” the agency quoted saying by Song Yanlin, a leading researcher.
The research is an important part of the Academy’s experimental project on nano manufacture technology. Since 2013, researchers have cooperated with more than 70 companies in the study of lithium batteries, nano printing, nano-catalysts, health care and potable water treatment.
The project has led to a series of inventions and attracted social investments amounting to more than 5 billion yuan (about $780 million).
