Research on the Application of Microscopic Testing Methods in Paper Materials Conservation
In the protection and restoration of paper materials,the anti-aging mechanism of paper is a research hotspot.The performance change(aging)of paper materials depends on the evolution of the microstructure of its main material(fiber).Therefore,scientific microscopic testing methods are very important for the protection of paper materials.This article analyzes the modern testing methods used to study the microstructure of paper materials,including spectroscopy technology,scanning electron microscopy,energy dispersive spectroscopy technology,thermal analysis technology,X-ray characterization technology and mercury-pressure method,etc.,so as to reveal the mechanisms of macroscopic property changes in paper materials.
