- Résumé
- Since it was first introduced to the conservation field, hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) has been of interest to conservators and conservation scientists alike. Today, the most used HPC is Klucel G, most often employed through direct application, but it is also used through solvent reactivation. The goal of this research project is to quantitively determine the differences between these two application techniques using Klucel G. The strength of the adhesion was tested using an Instron tensile test machine for the lap joint shear strength test adn teh T-peel test. The flexibility of the adhesion was tested using a Taber-type tester to determine if one method of application formed a more flexible bond than the other. Finally, the diffusion of the adhesive into the substrate was observed using reflected light microscopy to speculate on the reversibility of the treatment and understand the way the adhesion works. This research determines that direct application is stronger than solvent reactivation due to a greater diffusion of the adhesive.
