Recipe Details

Ingredients

linen, flax fibers

Preparation Steps

The papers were handmade from linen and flax fibers and kept unsized and without fillers to mimic high-quality historical rag papers (p. 423). To simulate aging and copper corrosion, they were subjected to accelerated aging at 55 °C with fluctuating humidity (35% to 80% RH) every 6 hours (p. 423).

Original Recipe Text

The papers were handmade from linen and flax fibers and kept unsized and without fillers to mimic high-quality historical rag papers (p. 423). To simulate aging and copper corrosion, they were subjected to accelerated aging at 55 °C with fluctuating humidity (35% to 80% RH) every 6 hours (p. 423).

Evidence

"Test papers were prepared of modern handmade paper composed of linen and flax fibers without additional sizing or fillers."

Remarks

The study demonstrates that copper ion migration causes catalytic oxidation of cellulose, leading to higher carbonyl group content in the areas adjacent to the pigment lines (p. 421, 427). The paper describes the formation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic zones in the paper web as a result of the copper corrosion process (p. 422).
