Abstract

Abstract Results from the natural aging process of copy paper using emission fluorescence spectra are presented in this article. For the study, copy paper examples subjected to aging from 0 to 25 years were selected as test samples. Copy paper shows a well-defined fluorescence spectrum due to the cellulosic compounds used in its manufacture. By analysing each sample's fluorescence bands, relative intensities and the band shifts in the paper’s fluorescence spectra, results provide information about the condition of the cellulosic compounds from which we can estimate the paper’s age. Results show that the relative intensity of fluorescence emission bands of the copy paper exponentially decay as it ages. As such, fluorescence spectroscopy stands out as a suitable technique for evaluating the deterioration suffered by, for example, art works on copy paper. The effect of incorporating wood extracts on the fluorescence properties of aged copy paper was also studied. Wood extracts soluble in ethanol and acetone appear to enhance the fluorescence emissions, raising the prospect of a novel preservation process.

自然老化复印纸的荧光特性及加入木材提取物对其保存的影响

本文介绍了利用发射荧光光谱研究复印纸自然老化过程的结果。本研究选取0 ~ 25年老化的复印纸样本作为测试样本。由于在其制造过程中使用了纤维素化合物，复印纸显示出明确的荧光光谱。通过分析每个样品的荧光带、相对强度和纸张荧光光谱中的波段偏移，结果提供了有关纤维素化合物状况的信息，我们可以从中估计纸张的年龄。结果表明，复写纸的荧光发射带的相对强度随老化呈指数衰减。因此，荧光光谱作为一种合适的技术脱颖而出，用于评估诸如复印纸上的艺术作品所遭受的变质。研究了木材提取物对老化复印纸荧光特性的影响。可溶于乙醇和丙酮的木材提取物似乎增强了荧光发射，提高了一种新的保存方法的前景。

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.
