Abstract
Traditional handmade papers, as the carriers of paper-based cultural relics, inevitably undergo various deteriorations during long-term preservation. Establishing a reasonable degradation kinetic model of handmade paper under the synergistic action of multiple factors is the crucial to evaluate paper aging and lifespan of paper. This study explores the moisture content and diffusion behavior of water molecules in traditional handmade paper to identify the interaction between fibers and water molecules at the accessible sites by two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-COS). Additionally, the optimized second-order kinetic models for the degradation of three types of Kaihua handmade papers was presented based on the time-temperature-humidity superposition method. A time-temperature-humidity translation factor is incorporated into the dynamic model to quantitatively analyze the synergistic effect of temperature and humidity on the degradation rate of handmade paper. The degradation rates of handmade paper with different raw materials and handcraft processes demonstrated significant effects of the cooking and bleaching processes on the aging degradation process and the durability of the paper. The improved second-order degradation kinetic model, considering the cooperation process with multi-factors and mechanisms, enables the extrapolation of paper aging properties at arbitrary temperature and humidity effectively, which provides a more reasonable estimation of handmade paper's lifespan.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Degradation and Stability deals with the degradation reactions and their control which are a major preoccupation of practitioners of the many and diverse aspects of modern polymer technology.
Deteriorative reactions occur during processing, when polymers are subjected to heat, oxygen and mechanical stress, and during the useful life of the materials when oxygen and sunlight are the most important degradative agencies. In more specialised applications, degradation may be induced by high energy radiation, ozone, atmospheric pollutants, mechanical stress, biological action, hydrolysis and many other influences. The mechanisms of these reactions and stabilisation processes must be understood if the technology and application of polymers are to continue to advance. The reporting of investigations of this kind is therefore a major function of this journal.
However there are also new developments in polymer technology in which degradation processes find positive applications. For example, photodegradable plastics are now available, the recycling of polymeric products will become increasingly important, degradation and combustion studies are involved in the definition of the fire hazards which are associated with polymeric materials and the microelectronics industry is vitally dependent upon polymer degradation in the manufacture of its circuitry. Polymer properties may also be improved by processes like curing and grafting, the chemistry of which can be closely related to that which causes physical deterioration in other circumstances.
