- Résumé
- This work examined the use of Cyclomethicone D4 (octamethyclyclotetrasiloxane), a silicone solvent, and Cyclomethicone D4 based microemulsions on paper substrates. The study consisted of three phases. Firstly, the effects of the solvent on a variety of paper types were analyzed for colour change, and residue. Morphology changes of the paper surfaces were visually examined under magnification, reflected light, and UV light. Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) was used to analyze the papers for solvent residue. The second phase evaluated the appropriateness of silicone-based microemulsions for localized aqueous cleaning of paper. Papers dyed with a highly water-soluble colorant were immersed in water, silicone solvent, or microemulsions of the silicone solvent, Ecosurf EH-3, and water (20% and 50% w/w) and removal of the dye was measured. Finally, the third phase investigated if silicone-based microemulsions could be used to locally extract water-soluble material from paper without wetting out the surface if incorporated into a gel. The emulsions were absorbed into a rigid gel of 2% gellan gum in water. The microemulsion-saturated gel was applied to samples of paper dyed with a highly water-soluble colorant and removal of the colorant was assessed. In this work Cyclomethicone D4 was found to have little or no permanent effect on paper surfaces while offering many strong possibilities for its use in the treatment of water-sensitive materials.
