Recipe Details
Ingredients
BNC, Xuan paper
Preparation Steps
BNC can be dissociated in water to get a diluted suspension and directly used as a consolidant for paper repair without adding wheat starch adhesive. After dissociation, the rich, free hydroxyl groups of BNC have strong bridging effects to hold paper fibers together (p. 22). Stable BNC solution can be prepared by dissolving BNC in NaOH/urea and applied by ultrasonic atomization (p. 22).

Evidence
"Xuan paper lined with BNC has a significant improvement in the folding resistances. Moreover, creased Xuan paper treated with BNC has better durability than that repaired with traditional paper strips"
Remarks
BNC is uniformly bridged on the paper fiber surface or between the paper fibers, strengthening the aged paper. Creased Xuan paper treated with BNC has better durability than those repaired with traditional paper strips (p. 22).
