Issues of cost and product quality have caused papermakers to place increased attention on
the use of mineral additives, which are the subject of this review article. Technologists …

Paper aging and conservation are matters of concern to those responsible for archives and
library collections. Wood-derived fibers are mainly composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses …

Paper degradation on a macroscopic scale is characterised primarily by yellowing, an
increase in brittleness, and other destructive changes caused by the hydrolysis of glycoside …

The main paper conservation methods are presented, classified in the following categories:
preparation of the intervention, disinfestation and disinfection/sterilization, surface/dry …

Paper cultural relics, with the great historic and artistic value, experience aging and
degradation during their long-term preservation. The degradation of paper involves various …

Embrittlement threatens the useful lifetime of books, maps, manuscripts, and works of art on
paper during storage, circulation, and display in libraries, museums, and archives. Past …

Paper production requires large amounts of cellulosic fiber, whereas the world's forested
lands and croplands have a finite capacity to supply such resources. To deal with likely …

Green nanocomposites combining cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), cellulose nanocrystals
(CNCs), and lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) were designed and applied for the first time as …

Bacterial cellulose (BC) synthesized by Gluconacetobacter sucrofermentans CECT 7291
seems to be a good option for the restoration of degraded paper. In this work BC layers are …

Starch stain is a common stain on paper artifacts. This stain leads to deformation of the
surface of the paper and promotes the growth of microbiological deterioration. This study …
