Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of paper processing technology, specifically to an aging-resistant polysaccharide-based adhesive, its preparation method and application, and a method for repairing paper tears. Background Technology
[0002] Museum-collected paper artifacts are cultural relics made of paper and printing inks, held by collecting institutions. These include books, newspapers, archives, drawings, maps, rubbings, banknotes, documents, stamps, etc. Among them, calligraphy and paintings are the most representative, non-renewable, and of significant cultural and historical importance. During long-term preservation, paper artifacts inevitably suffer damage from physical, chemical, biological, and human factors, resulting in paper artifact defects. Among the more than 20 common defects, paper tearing severely damages the structural integrity of paper artifacts, seriously affecting their long-term preservation. Protective restoration of torn paper is of great significance for the long-term preservation of paper artifacts.
[0003] For the repair of tears in paper artifacts, thin paper and adhesives are typically used. Unlike conventional paper bonding, paper artifacts have extremely stringent requirements regarding the durability, reversibility, and transparency of adhesives, while also requiring a neutral or slightly alkaline pH (7 ≤ pH ≤ 8.5) to avoid introducing the risk of acidification. For precious paper artifacts, the field of cultural relic conservation usually chooses natural polymers as adhesives, avoiding the use of synthetic polymers or modified materials that could cause irreversible damage. Traditional materials such as chitosan, cellulose, starch, and gelatin all have certain performance defects. Chitosan and cellulose have poor solubility and are difficult to pre-treat; their strength as adhesives alone is limited, and they often exhibit color differences from the paper artifact after drying. Starch has a retrogradation problem, making it difficult to effectively bond tears with high strength. Gelatin aqueous solutions are slightly acidic, posing a risk of acidification to paper artifacts. To address these issues, developing adhesives that do not rely on thin paper, have good bonding effects, are reversible, and are slightly alkaline will greatly overcome the technical bottlenecks in the repair of tears in paper artifacts.

[0082] Example 1 Pretreatment of β-1,3-glucan: 10.0 g of β-1,3-glucan was added to 1 L of 0.1 mol / L NaOH solution and stirred at room temperature for 4 h until the solution was clear and transparent. The pH was adjusted to 8.0 with 2 mol / L acetic acid solution, and stirring was continued for 2 h. The mixture was centrifuged at 5000 g for 30 min, and the supernatant was discarded. 500 mL of deionized water was added to the precipitate and stirred until homogeneous. The mixture was then centrifuged at 5000 g for 30 min, the supernatant was discarded, and 500 mL of deionized water was added back to the precipitate. This operation was repeated 3 times, and the precipitate was recovered by centrifugation. The volume was adjusted to 200 mL with deionized water, and the mixture was homogenized by high-speed shearing at 15000 r / min for 5 min to obtain a β-1,3-glucan colloid with a concentration of 50 g / L. The protein content in the β-1,3-glucan colloid was determined to be 1.8% of the polysaccharide mass using the Coomassie Brilliant Blue method. The colloid was stored at 4℃ for later use.
[0083] Pretreatment of Sophora japonica gum: 10.0 g of Sophora japonica gum and 0.5 g of sodium hydroxide granules were added to 1 L of deionized water and stirred at room temperature for 4 h until completely dissolved. The solution was placed in an autoclave and treated at 105 °C for 15 min. After naturally cooling to room temperature, the pH was adjusted to 7.5 with 2 mol / L hydrochloric acid, and then centrifuged at 5000 g for 30 min to recover the supernatant. 4 L of anhydrous ethanol was added to the supernatant, and the mixture was allowed to stand at 4 °C for 12 h, followed by centrifugation at 5000 g for 30 min to recover the precipitate. The precipitate was washed three times with 75% ethanol and then dried in an oven at 80 °C to constant weight to obtain 8.0 g of polysaccharide. The polysaccharide was dissolved in 200 mL of deionized water, and the pH was adjusted to 8.5 with saturated calcium hydroxide solution to obtain a Sophora japonica gum solution with a concentration of 40 g / L. The mass of protein in the solution was determined to be 1.7% of the polysaccharide mass using the Coomassie brilliant blue method. The solution was stored at 4 °C for later use.
[0084] Xylan, xanthan gum, pullulan, and gellan gum were pretreated according to the pretreatment method for locust bean gum, respectively, to prepare xylan solutions with a concentration of 100 g / L, xanthan gum solutions with a concentration of 15 g / L, pullulan solutions with a concentration of 100 g / L, and gellan gum solutions with a concentration of 15 g / L, respectively. The proportion of protein to polysaccharide in all four solutions was less than 2% as determined by the Coomassie brilliant blue method. All solutions were stored at 4℃ for later use.
[0085] According to Table 2, β-1,3-glucan colloid, locust bean gum solution, xylan solution, xanthan gum solution, pullulan polysaccharide solution, gellan gum solution and calcium carbonate powder were added, quantitatively diluted with deionized water, and the pH value was adjusted with saturated calcium hydroxide aqueous solution. After high-speed homogenization at 15000 r / min for 5 min, the aging-resistant polysaccharide-based adhesive (numbered 1#) was obtained.
[0086] Examples 2-10 The aging-resistant polysaccharide-based adhesive was prepared according to the method of Example 1. The only difference from Example 1 is that the composition of the aging-resistant polysaccharide-based adhesive is shown in Table 2, and the aging-resistant polysaccharide-based adhesives prepared in Examples 2 to 10 are numbered 2# to 10# respectively.
[0087] Comparative Example 1 The aging-resistant polysaccharide-based adhesive was prepared according to the method of Example 1. The only difference from Example 1 is that the composition of the aging-resistant polysaccharide-based adhesive is shown in Table 2, and the aging-resistant polysaccharide-based adhesive prepared in Comparative Example 1 is numbered 11#.
[0088] Table 2. Composition of the aging-resistant polysaccharide-based adhesives in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Example 1
[0089] Comparative Example 2 According to the method in Example 1, locust bean gum, xanthan gum, and pullulan polysaccharide were pretreated separately. The resulting locust bean gum solution, xanthan gum solution, and pullulan polysaccharide solution were mixed and quantitatively diluted with deionized water to obtain a polysaccharide mixed solution gel (denoted as 12#). The mass ratio of locust bean gum, xanthan gum, and pullulan polysaccharide in the polysaccharide mixed solution gel was 4:5:1, and the total concentration of the three was 15 g / L.
[0090] Comparative Example 3 Sophora japonica gum, xanthan gum, and pullulan were pretreated according to the method in Example 1. The resulting solutions of sophora japonica gum, xanthan gum, and pullulan were mixed and quantitatively diluted with deionized water to obtain a polysaccharide mixture gel (denoted as 13#). The mass ratio of sophora japonica gum, xanthan gum, and pullulan was 4:5:1, and the total concentration of the three was 10 g / L.
[0091] Test Example 1 The impact of accelerated aging treatment on the smooth incision repair of raw Xuan paper. A strip of raw Xuan paper with a smooth cut was placed face up on a smooth flat surface and moistened with deionized water spray. The broken edges were then manually joined together, avoiding overlapping of the paper strips on both sides at the break. To illustrate the adhesive's bonding effect, misalignment of the paper strips along the break direction was allowed. Adhesive #3 was evenly applied to the break at a rate of 25 μL / cm of the cut, allowing the adhesive to spread laterally by approximately 6 mm, meeting the width requirements (4~10 mm) for tear bonding using thin paper as specified in GB / T 42468.3-2023 "Specifications for the Rescue and Restoration of Paper Archives Part 3: Restoration Quality Requirements". The paper strips were then allowed to air dry naturally under laboratory conditions to form a repaired break, serving as a normal sample. A portion of the repaired paper strips was subjected to accelerated aging at 105℃ for 72 hours according to GB / T 464-2008, serving as an accelerated aging sample. Both the normal sample and the accelerated aging sample showed a transparent film forming in the adhesive-repaired area, with no color difference from the main paper strip. The tensile strength of normal samples and accelerated aging samples was determined by constant-rate tensile testing, and the results are shown in Table 3.
[0092] Table 3 Tensile strength of samples after repair of smooth cuts on raw Xuan paper with adhesive #3 (mean ± standard deviation)
[0093] Table 3 shows that the adhesive effectively achieves bonding of smooth cuts. After accelerated dry heat aging, the tensile strength of the cut was significantly improved. This result is related to the characteristics of the polysaccharides used in the adhesive. Thermal gelation upon heating is a typical characteristic; galactomannan and xanthan gum exhibit a synergistic effect, significantly increasing gel strength upon heating. The accelerated aging process enhances the gel strength of the polysaccharides in the adhesive, thus increasing the tensile strength. The results indicate that the adhesive possesses a certain degree of anti-aging ability.
[0094] Additionally, create paper strips with irregular tears to demonstrate the bonding effect. Figure 1 The figure shows the bonding effect of adhesive #3 on a smooth cut with irregular breaks (where A represents the bonding effect and B represents the film transparency). As can be seen from the figure, in addition to effectively bonding smooth cuts, the adhesive can also form a highly transparent film at irregular breaks, further demonstrating the adhesive's ability to repair irregular breaks.
[0095] Test Example 2 Comparison of the effects of adhesives on the repair of smooth cuts and tears in raw Xuan paper. Two types of raw Xuan paper strips, one with a smooth cut and the other with a torn section containing paper fiber stubble, were placed face up on a smooth flat surface. They were moistened with deionized water spray and manually joined together at the torn section, avoiding overlapping. To illustrate the adhesive's bonding effect, misalignment of the paper strips along the tear direction was allowed. Adhesive #1 was evenly applied to the tear at a rate of 25 μL / cm of cut. The strips were allowed to air dry under laboratory conditions to repair the tear. The repaired paper strips were then subjected to dry heat treatment at 105℃ for 72 h to accelerate aging, according to GB / T 464-2008. The tensile strength of the smooth-cut and torn samples was determined using the constant-rate tensile test, and the results are shown in Table 4.
[0096] Table 4. Tensile strength of raw Xuan paper repaired with #1 adhesive after accelerated aging treatment (mean ± standard deviation)
[0097] As shown in Table 4, compared with the smooth cut, the presence of burrs at the tear joint leads to cross-linking between the fibers on both sides of the tear, significantly improving the adhesive effect. After accelerated dry heat aging, the tensile strength of the tear joint is significantly higher than that of the smooth cut, with a folded fracture length of 1.68 ± 0.23 km, close to the national standard requirement for cotton-based Xuan paper (1.70 km). The results indicate that the presence of paper fiber burrs at the fracture joint can greatly enhance the repair effect of the adhesive.
[0098] Test Example 3 Comparison of the effects of adhesives on the repair of raw and processed Xuan paper. Adhesive #3 was applied evenly at a rate of 40 μL / cm to the fracture surfaces of both raw and processed Xuan paper strips with smooth cuts. The strips were then allowed to air dry under laboratory conditions to repair the fractures. The repaired paper strips were then subjected to dry heat treatment at 105℃ for 72 h to accelerate aging, as required by GB / T 464-2008. The tensile strength of the smooth cut surfaces of both raw and processed Xuan paper was determined using the constant-rate tensile test, and the results are shown in Table 5.
[0099] Table 5. Tensile strength of raw and sized Xuan paper after accelerated aging treatment with #3 adhesive (mean ± standard deviation)
[0100] As shown in Table 5, the adhesive has a stronger bonding effect on sized Xuan paper compared to raw Xuan paper. This result indicates that the gelatin on the surface of sized Xuan paper partially dissolves during the treatment process and interacts with the polysaccharide component of the adhesive. Further accelerated aging treatment can significantly improve the bonding strength.
[0101] Test Example 4 Comparison of adhesive component ratios and their effects on smooth incision repair using raw Xuan paper. Adhesives #1 to #4 were evenly applied at a rate of 30 μL / cm to the torn edges of smooth-cut raw Xuan paper strips. The strips were then allowed to air dry under laboratory conditions to repair the tears. The repaired paper strips were then subjected to a dry heat treatment at 105℃ for 72 h to accelerate aging, according to GB / T 464-2008. The tensile strength of the smooth-cut edges of the raw Xuan paper strips was determined using the constant-rate tensile test. Figure 2 The tensile strength (mean ± standard deviation) of adhesives 1# to 4# after accelerated aging treatment of smooth cuts on raw Xuan paper has been measured. The test results show that the adhesive strength on smooth cuts on raw Xuan paper gradually increases with increasing polysaccharide content. Adhesive 4# achieves an effective bonding strength on smooth cuts equivalent to a breaking length of 1.28 ± 0.15 km, demonstrating excellent performance.
[0102] Test Example 5 The effect of calcium carbonate on the repair of raw Xuan paper strips with smooth cuts. Adhesives #2 and #8 through #10 were evenly applied at a rate of 25 μL / cm to the fractured edges of smooth-cut raw Xuan paper strips. The strips were then allowed to air dry under laboratory conditions to repair the fractures. The repaired paper strips were then subjected to dry heat treatment at 105℃ for 72 h to accelerate aging, as required by GB / T 464-2008. The tensile strength of the smooth-cut edges of the raw Xuan paper strips was determined using the constant-rate tensile test. Figure 3 The tensile strength (mean ± standard deviation) of the repaired smooth cut surface of raw Xuan paper after accelerated aging treatment was measured based on the calcium carbonate content in the adhesive (adhesives #2 and #8~#10). The test results show that the adhesive strength to the smooth cut surface of the raw Xuan paper gradually increases with increasing calcium carbonate content, which is largely related to the role of calcium ions in promoting polysaccharide gelation. When the calcium carbonate concentration reaches 0.5 g / L, the average tensile strength reaches 2.85 times the initial value. With increasing calcium carbonate concentration, the repaired fracture area gradually turns whiter, creating a color difference with the original paper. Therefore, a concentration of less than 0.5 g / L is preferred.
[0103] Test Example 6 Scanning electron microscopy imaging of smooth incisions repaired with adhesives (2#, 4#, 12#) from raw Xuan paper. Adhesives #2, #4, and #12 were selected and applied evenly at a rate of 25 μL / cm to the fractured edges of raw Xuan paper strips with smooth cuts. The strips were then allowed to air dry under laboratory conditions to repair the fracture. The repaired paper strips were then used for scanning electron microscopy imaging of the fractured area.
[0104] Figure 4 and Figure 5Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the fracture surfaces after repairing smooth cuts in raw Xuan paper using adhesives #2 and #4, respectively. The results show that the smooth cut treatment caused fiber misalignment on both sides of the fracture, preventing proper alignment. Both adhesives, however, effectively bonded the fracture surface without relying on fiber entanglement. After repair, the adhesives not only filled the fracture but also formed a thin film on the fiber surfaces near the fracture, reinforcing the structure. Adhesive #4, with its higher polysaccharide content, formed a more uniform film, consistent with its higher tensile strength.
[0105] Figure 6 The image shows a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the fractured area after repairing a smooth cut on raw Xuan paper with adhesive #12. It is evident that the smooth cut treatment caused fiber misalignment on both sides of the fracture, preventing proper alignment. Furthermore, the mixture of locust bean gum and xanthan gum failed to effectively bond the fractured area. Although a film formed on the paper surface by the mixture was observed after repair, the fracture remained. This result is significantly different from the repair effect of the adhesive described in Example 6, indicating that the aging-resistant polysaccharide-based adhesive prepared in this invention has a better repair effect on paper fractures than the natural polysaccharide mixture (#12).
[0106] Test Example 7 Adhesives #4 and #13 were selected and applied evenly at a rate of 25 μL / cm to the fractured edges of a strip of raw Xuan paper with a smooth cut. The strips were then allowed to air dry under laboratory conditions to repair the fracture. The tensile strength of the paper was then measured using a universal tensile testing machine. The curve showing the change in tensile strength with paper deformation is shown below. Figure 7 As shown, the results indicate that the adhesive prepared in this invention has a maximum tensile strength more than twice that of the polysaccharide mixture, and the paper exhibits stronger resistance to deformation. The results demonstrate that the aging-resistant polysaccharide-based adhesive of this invention provides better repair of paper tears than the natural polysaccharide mixture.
[0107] Test Example 8 The effect of adhesives on the pH of newspapers Newly published newspapers and old newspapers showing obvious signs of aging and browning (newspapers from 2000) were selected and cut into 20 cm × 20 cm samples. Adhesives #5~#7 and #11 were applied at a concentration of 50 μL / cm³. 2 The adhesive was evenly sprayed onto the surface of the newspaper sample and allowed to air dry under laboratory conditions. Using the sample without adhesive as a control, the pH value of the aqueous extract of the sample was determined according to GB / T 1545-2008. The results are shown in Table 6.
[0108] Table 6. Effect of adhesives on the pH value of newspapers (average)
[0109] As shown in Table 6, the adhesive provided by this invention can significantly increase the pH value of newspapers and exhibits a certain deacidification ability for acidified paper, which meets the requirements for the restoration of paper cultural relics. The addition of natural polysaccharide additives increases the pH value of the paper.
