Permanent Ink from Tea Bags Extracts
This research is being done to find out the potency of the extract of the leaves from the plant camellis sinensis as an ink. Nowadays, ink is a pigment in a liquid or paste form used as colorants and dyes. Also, they are becoming more and more expensive because of their increasing purposes. Our research aims to produce this ink as a cheaper alternative to these commercial ones. Compared to the ink we are aiming to create, commercially produced inks are toxic and can be hazardous to a person’s health once there s a inapprpriate contact with it.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Generally, this investigatory project aims to find out if tea bags can be used to create an ink. Specifically, it aims to answer the following questions: 1. Are tea bags extract use as an ink effective? 2. What are the components of the tea bags that can show that it can be an effective alternative ink? 3. What type of tea is to be used for this study? 4. What additives should be used to strengthen the color of the ink?
HYPOTHESIS Extracts taken from tea bags have the potential to be made into an ink. Thus, if sugar syrup is added to the mixture, then the product would have stronger color and consistency than the ordinary ink.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To find out the potency of the extract of the leaves from the plant camellis sinensis as ink. 2. To make safer and cheaper product. 3. To recycle used tea bags.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY This investigatory project will benefit us by poducing an alternative ofr other inks. These other manufactured inks presently come quite expensive prices, but since the materails to be used in our project are common and easy to find, you will be spending less money. Also, no harmful chemicals will be used in making our ink. Therefore, it is non-toxic compared to cmmercially sold inks which hve the tendencies of causing harm to one’s health and to the environment.
