Abstract
1.Wrapping paper innovation and product applicationTo improve the function of wrapping paper with the three directions of using green and environmental raw materials, improvement of plastic reduction of cushioning materials and enhancement of wrapping functionalization, so as to make the wrapping paper become green and multifunctional paper.2. Natural dye innovation and product applicationThrough the collection of literature and interviews to understand the problems of the use of natural dyes and try to use barrier agents to increase the lightfastness of the dyes, in addition to the application of calligraphy and painting mounting silk fabric materials and forest products, and the experimental results are applied to innovative cultural and creative commodities to improve the scope and value of natural dyes.3. Development of nanocellulose technology and commodity applicationFor environmental protection, the use of biomaterials has become one of the keys. The material revolution in the 21st century is the development of green composite materials. Green composite materials can be applied in various fields, including additive materials used in pulp and paper. In fact, nanocellulose is a material that decomposes plant fibers to the nanometer level, its linear thermal expansion coefficient is the same as that of glass fiber, and its elastic modulus is even higher than that of glass fiber. In addition, nanocellulose is derived from plants, completely derived from biomass, and can be completely biodegradable materials. The "green compound" is a compound made of various natural biofibers and biopolymers at the nanometer level. However, the biggest problem in the preparation of nanocellulose today is the long reaction time and the cost is too high. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, it is planned to be prepared by innovative methods to achieve the purpose of time and cost reduction, and be applied to commodity technology research and development to develop multi-purpose products.4. Aromatic and flavor plant innovation and product applicationCultivate the "food and agriculture literacy" required by modern food consumers and become an environmentally conscious foodie. It covers the knowledge aspects such as ecology, history, economy, folklore and science. It helps consumers to choose food wisely, accumulates knowledge through conscious eating habits, and finally becomes food culture and turns into unique cultural assets.
