Development of a Cost-Effective Organic-Inorganic Nanocomposite for High Quality Gravure Printing

凹版印刷是长时间运行和高质量的首选印刷工艺。传统的工艺包括制造镀铜、镀铬的圆柱体，在圆柱体上雕刻所需的图像。 这些圆筒具有高的制造和操作成本。 该过程中使用的化学品具有剧毒，因此对人类和环境构成重大威胁。该提案概述了首次尝试开发一种新的和创新的混合有机-无机纳米复合材料，以取代镀铜和Chrome涂层。该项目的成功将为本地和国际客户提供高质量，负担得起和环保的印刷服务。

Gravure printing is the printing process of choice for long runs and high quality. The conventional process involves the manufacture of copper-plated, chrome-coated cylinders into which the desired image is engraved. The cylinders have high manufacturing and operating costs. The chemicals used in the process are highly toxic and therefore pose major threats to humans and environment. This proposal outlines the first attempts to develop a new and innovative hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposite material to replace the copper plating and chrome coating. The success of the project will offer high quality, affordable and environmentally friendly printing service to both local and international clientele.
