- Résumé
- Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), commonly referred to as nanocellulose, is an emerging material in the conservation field. Due to its properties of transparency and high mechanical strength, nanocellulose film offers novel potential in paper conservation when Japanese tissue may not be suitable for use in treatments. However, the reaction of nanocellulose film to the direct application of water is particularly different to that of Japanese tissue. When water or aqueous adhesives are applied to nanocellulose, the wet film loses stability and becomes pulpy, making practical use problematic. Additionally, nanocellulose film can shrink upon drying, causing planar deformation. For these reasons, adhesives used with nanocellulose are limited in published treatments to date.
- Remoistenable tissue has been used in paper conservation for many years as a standard material for mending and lining damaged paper objects, especially those that are moisture sensitive. Therefore, the possibility to create remoistenable nanocellulose film using an established methodology may hold promise. This research examines the potential of using nanocellulose film in a remoistenable form and aims to build upon current understanding of how nanocellulose film reacts when water and ethanol are introduced, through expansion and shrinking tests.
- Results demonstrated that the nanocellulose film used in this study behaved considerably different than the Japanese tissue when water was introduced. Practical techniques are also recommended to create remoistenable nanocellulose film with a selection of adhesives. Notably, films created with 2.5% Methocel(R) A4M methylcellulose and 5% gelatin showed promising initial results.
