The Future of Nano Packaging Industry in China

The formation of nanotechnology and the appearance of nanomaterials are the three most active frontier research fields in the 20th century. They have achieved breakthrough results and are another important milestone in the history of human science and technology development. Their potential impact is no matter how they are estimated. But points. In a letter to President Jiang Zemin, Nobel laureate Nonrer said: "In the 1950s, all countries that value micron technology have now achieved great development. Similarly, countries that now value nanotechnology will be in the 21st century. It has achieved rapid development," said IBM's chief scientist Amostrong. "Like the information revolution triggered by the microelectronics technology of the 1970s, nanotechnology will become the core of science and technology development in the next century." The American Times also selected nanotechnology as " One of the ten technologies that are likely to make a huge difference in humankind in the next ten years.” Thus, Western Europe, Japan, and the United States have all identified nanotechnology as key research topics to seize the commanding heights in this field. In this international context, the Chinese government has implemented the "863" and "973" national plans, invested a large amount of manpower and material resources to carry out nano-technology research, and achieved a series of world-renowned achievements, which laid a solid foundation for China's world leadership in this field. .
Scientists predict that the arrival of the nanometer era will not be long, and its application in the future will far exceed the computer industry. Qian Xuesen, a famous scientist in China, said: "Nano will bring about a technological revolution, which will lead to another industrial revolution in the 21st century." Currently, nanotechnology is widely used in information technology, optics, chemical engineering, medicine, energy science, environmental science and automation. The development of technology. Global nanotechnology turnover has reached 50 billion US dollars. Experts also predict that by 2010, the market capacity of nanotechnology will reach US$1.44 trillion. Seeing magic in detail, nanotechnology will completely change the current industrial structure and engender enormous business opportunities. So far, China has established more than 10 nano-materials production lines, such as nano-composite plastics, rubber and fiber modification, design and application of nano-functional (smart) materials, and application development of nano-materials in energy and environmental protection. Rise. Nearly 100 companies registered on the basis of nanotechnology, entrepreneurs' attention to nanomaterials and technology has injected new vitality into the formation of nanotechnology industry. The insightful people in the packaging industry in China have also established a nanotechnology industrialization company. Nano-fumed silica has been used in papermaking, plastics, and copy paper; nano-ultra-fine calcium carbonate produced using high-gravity technology is in high-grade. The annual consumption of ink reaches 5,000 tons, which can also be used in papermaking, adhesives, etc.; nylon 6/clay nano plastic film has a production value of 5 million yuan once it is put into operation...
Premier Zhu Rongji pointed out in the "Report of the Tenth Five-Year Plan": "We must strengthen basic research and applied research, and strive to make new progress in nanoscience and other aspects." The application and development of nanotechnology and nanomaterials provide a golden opportunity for the Chinese packaging industry. It is advisable to seize this opportunity and adhere to the principle of “doing something, not doing something” and highlighting the key points. Intensified support and careful efforts for several years must be effective. Suggestions for this:
First, the China Packaging Technology Association and China National Packaging Corporation took the lead to convene a nationwide seminar on nano industrialization in the packaging industry to jointly discuss the development of nano packaging technology development and technology promotion and application plans and put it into practice.
Second, in order to make China's packaging industry occupy a place in the 21st century nanotechnology industry, considering forward-looking, strategic, and basic considerations, China's packaging nanotechnology research and application centers and key laboratories and task teams should be established. The main task is to do a good job in the convergence of basic research and applied research and the transformation of results, to strengthen the addition of nano-modified traditional packaging materials and technological transformation, to expand the application of nano-materials in the field of packaging and printing, improve technology content, and seize the industry opportunities. Realize leapfrog development.
Third, the national 973-nanometer chief scientist Zhang Lide said: "Nano-plastics will be one of the most promising nano-technologies for industrialization in China." To this end, we must find a combination of nano-technology applications and real-world technology systems. The best nanotechnology will be developed as quickly as possible. In the area of ​​packaging and printing, nano inks, nano papers, polymer nano composites (PNMC), nano luminescent materials, nano antibacterial packaging, nano plastic packaging, nano adhesives , Nano anti-counterfeit printing, nano military protection packaging, nano green packaging, nano lithography printing technology, nano magnetic printing. Accelerate the integration of introduction, digestion, absorption and innovation, take key demonstration companies as breakthroughs, promote the development of the nano industry, focus on the construction of a number of promotional demonstration companies, introduce a number of new nanotechnology and new products, and look for a number of nanotechnology-based research units. It is time to introduce nanotechnology and take the lead in opening the door to nanoscale packaging and printing.
A nanotechnology expert predicted: “The developed countries are still on the eve of the industrialization of nanotechnology, and there is a leap-forward development opportunity for China.” In the face of a leap-forward development opportunity in the industrialization of nanotechnology, is the Chinese packaging industry ready? ?
