Neoteric and modern Chinese traditional ink-sticks were used as the research objects in our work.The main body and the gold-decorated part of the ink-sticks were characterized using various methods including elemental analysis,X-ray fluorescence(XRF)spectrometry,thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),dynamic light scattering(DLS)analysis and static contact angle testing.The properties and performance characteristics of these traditional ink-sticks were systematically studied in terms of elemental composition,component ratio of soot,glue and other additives,microscopic morphology and monodisperse size of ink particles,aggregation state and size of ink particles,hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of ink-stick surfaces.The results demonstrate that different ink-sticks had certain regularity in elemental composition,composition ratio,microscopic size,aggregation and dispersion state of ink particles,and surface hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity.The basic testing and analysis of physical-chemical properties of ink-sticks could provide data support for the scientific database of Chinese traditional ink-sticks.Moreover,the research on the specific correlation and differences could be related to the ink-making process and ink quality,providing not only a scientific basis for the use,preservation and identification of ink,but also a reference for the writing effect of ink.
