A Kobe University research team has developed a fade-resistant ink by converting silicon into nanoparticles, without using dyes or pigments. The ink is resistant to ultraviolet light and temperature changes, and is expected to have a wide range of applications, including industrial materials and cosmetics.
A Kobe University research team has developed a new fade-resistant ink. Instead of using conventional dyes or pigments, the ink uses silicon, a semiconductor material, as its core.
The ink is made by converting silicon into nanoparticles and is resistant to ultraviolet light and temperature changes. A wide range of applications is envisioned, particularly in industrial materials and cosmetics.
