Nanotechnology Offers New Opportunities for the Ink Industry

Nanotechnology is becoming a key source of scientific knowledge for the future of printing and printing inks, not only in Europe but elsewhere in the world. If printing is to expand well beyond its traditional strongholds, particularly in areas like electronics, it will have to rely a lot on advances achieved with the use of nanoscale particles and materials in inks. “Nanotechnology is no longer new,” Barry Park, theme manager for manufacturing and processing at the UK government-funded Nanote...
