The investigation of conservation methods and destruction regions of papers under the various temperature and humidity changes

온.습도 변화에 따른 양지의 손상원인 및 보존방안 연구

To examine the method for preservation of papers, 9 kinds of papers were purchased and pretreated for 6 months with various artificial conditions which were controlled as 3 temperature classes($20^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$&$20^{\circ}C$) and 4 humidity classes(40%, 60%, 80%, 100%).Whiteness, acidity and folding endurance were measured to examine the state of papers pretreated under each condition. From the resultexamining the state, all the papers were best condition at low temperature($20^{\circ}C$) and low humidity(40%) and damaged at high temperature($80^{\circ}C$) and high humidity(100%).The values of whiteness, acidity, and folding endurance were measure din relation with deterioration of papers. According to damage of papers caused by the chemical agent, papers became to be acidic, increased color difference and reduced the force of folding endurance. The effect of change of temperature($-20^{\circ}C$&$20^{\circ}C$) on degradation of papers was not well acquired. Because the period of investigation was not long enough to acquire the data. So the more studies are needed to find the cause of damage of papers.
