Synergistic effect of gelatin strength and inhibitors on the anti-aging performance of pigmented calligraphy and painting paper
Abstract Red mineral pigments are widely used in traditional calligraphy and painting, but the metal ions they contain will catalyze the degradation of cellulose and accelerate the aging of paper. In this study, the effects of four different strengths of gelatin (G50, G100, G200 and G250) on the aging properties of paper were systematically studied using unsized Xuan paper as the base material with ochre as the pigment, and the optimal strength gelatin was selected in combination with three inhibitors EDTA, sodium …
