Abstract

Abstract Mending tears in translucent papers is a challenging task that requires mending materials with specific mechanical and optical properties. Recently, translucent films from microfibrillated cellulose have been suggested as an attractive alternative to traditional repair materials. We prepared custom films from a commercial microfibrillated cellulose suspension and compared their mechanical and optical properties as mending supports with commercially manufactured microfibrillated cellulose films and Japanese tissue. Tear mending of modern and historic translucent paper samples using the custom-made films and Klucel G or isinglass as adhesives showed satisfactory strength and resilience, and accelerated ageing tests yielded acceptable visual results. A case study on a translucent paper document from the collection of The National Archives, UK, is detailed. We conclude that custom-made tear mending materials from commercially available microfibrillated cellulose suspensions present a cost-effective and attractive approach for the mending of translucent papers.

用于修补半透明纸的微纤化纤维素薄膜:薄膜制备和处理应用选择的评估

摘要修补半透明纸张中的撕裂是一项具有挑战性的任务，需要修补具有特定机械和光学性能的材料。最近，由微纤化纤维素制成的半透明薄膜被认为是传统修复材料的一种有吸引力的替代品。我们从商业微原纤纤维素悬浮液中制备了定制薄膜，并将其作为修补载体的机械和光学性能与商业制造的微原纤纤维薄膜和日本纸巾进行了比较。使用定制薄膜和Klucel G或云母作为粘合剂对现代和历史半透明纸样品进行撕裂修补，显示出令人满意的强度和弹性，加速老化测试产生了可接受的视觉结果。对英国国家档案馆收藏的一份半透明纸质文件进行了详细的案例研究。我们得出的结论是，由商业上可获得的微原纤纤维素悬浮液定制的撕裂修补材料为半透明纸张的修补提供了一种具有成本效益和吸引力的方法。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the Institute of Conservation is the peer reviewed publication of the Institute of Conservation (Icon). As such, its aims reflect those of Icon, to advance knowledge and education in conservation and achieve the long term preservation and conservation of moveable and immoveable cultural heritage. The Journal provides a collective identity for conservators; it promotes and supports both the profession and professionalism. With international contributions on all aspects of conservation, it is an invaluable resource for the heritage sector. The specific aims of the Journal are to: 1. promote research, knowledge and understanding of cultural heritage conservation through its history, practice and theory 2. provide an international forum to enable and disseminate advances in research, knowledge and understanding relating to conservation and heritage 3. champion and support professional standards of heritage conservation in the UK and internationally 4. provide a permanent record of issues relating to conservation and heritage 5. be financially and operationally sustainable. To achieve these aims, the Journal invites contributions from all those involved in the conservation of cultural heritage and related activities. Areas of interest include understanding cultural heritage materials and their degradation; subject reviews and histories of cultural heritage materials and conservation treatments; new, innovative or improved approaches to conservation and collections care theory, practice, communication, management and training; case studies demonstrating new, innovative or improved approaches; and conservation in its wider context. Submitters are encouraged to demonstrate how their work is of practical application to conservation. To maintain professional standards and promote academic rigour, submissions of articles and shorter notices are subject to an anonymous peer review process.
