Chapter I
Introduction
A. Background of the Study The group will conduct the study because the group noticed that teabag extract is dark in colour and it can be use to make ink, and also the group noticed that teabags are made from natural resources. Some kinds of teas are made out of a plant known as Camellis Sinensis. This plant is native to mainland China, but it is today cultivated across the world specially in tropical regions. Due to the chlorophylls and other pigments in the leaves, the extract commonly appears with a brown colour.
B. Statement of the Problem The group aims to find out the potency of the extract of the leaves from the plant Camellis Sinensis as an ink. Nowadays, the environment is being destructed and one the major causes of destruction is water pollution. These are the objectives of the group’s study:
1. to use the extract as component of ink
2. to use vinegar to strengthen the colour of the ink
3. can cornstarch contribute to achieving the right consistency of the ink
C. Significance of the Study This investigatory project will benefit us by producing an alternative to other inks, specially the materials to be used in the group’s project are common and easy to find. Surely the people in China and Japan will benefit the most because they drink tea as their water, also no chemicals are used in the group’s project.
D. Scope and Limitations The group is going to make ink out of teabag extract, and this study will be conducted for minutes – 6-8 minutes for boiling and 5 minutes for mixing and preparing. The group’s research and experiment will only be limited in making a simple ink, as a colorant. It will not include inks that will use machines such as printers, copiers, and so on.
