“…By another hand, the frame of using adhesive in textile conservation treatments, it covers the following: firstly, treatments by using adhesive are only suitable for deteriorated textiles and degraded silks; secondly, adhesives should not penetrate into historic textiles. So, adhesives must be applied as sparingly as possible [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Due to conservation procedure, animal glue adhesive can be found on historic textiles as consolidation step, or when the historic textiles to a solid surface adhered.…”

F RAGILE textiles in museums need to consolidate by natural adhesives such as animal glue due to conservation process. Sometimes the animal glue becomes shrunk, cracked, and rigid after long term. The article is aimed to study using Nano animal glue adhesive in historic textiles conservation field in order to consolidate the fragile textiles. For this, an extensive experimental work was done to study the ageing behavior of Nano animal glue after artificial ageing process. Firstly, Wool fabric dyed with natural dyes such as madder and safflower dye mordanted with different mordents to similarity for the historical textiles. The wool dyed fabrics were coated with animal glue adhesive and nano animal glue adhesive. The treated wool fabrics were aged by accelerated thermal ageing for different time. A comparative study was done in order to characterize changes in properties as well as the physical and chemical degradation of treated wool fabrics before and after thermal ageing. Different type of analysis methods such SEM , FTIR, the colors are given in Commission internationale de l'éclairage (CIE L*a*b*) coordinates and mechanical properties. This article presents interesting results concerning the effect of ageing on characterization of nano glue adhesive furthermore for treated wool fabrics.

This study considers confocal Raman spectroscopy as a means of identifying a range of synthetic polymeric adhesives used in textile conservation. Many of the synthetic adhesives applied to support fragile textiles in the 1970s are now showing signs of ageing and the textiles are therefore being presented for retreatment. With no record of the adhesive used, conservators are unsure of the appropriate protocol to remove the original adhesive prior to retreatment. We have shown that Raman spectroscopy lends itself to the analysis of these thin polymer layers as it is inherently non-destructive and can be applied in situ. We also found that, for particularly thin polymer layers (∼20 µm), the underlying textile often scatters far more efficiently than the overlying polymer and therefore the polymer cannot always be identified unambiguously in situ. Although thick, transparent polymer samples are known to produce maximum Raman peak intensity when the laser is focused a few microns below the sample surface, focusing on or just above (0-5 µm) the polymer layer is shown to maximize the ratio of polymer peak intensity to textile substrate peak intensity, thus facilitating identification of the polymer. Defocusing further to a point 20 µm above the upper surface is shown to reintroduce interference from the substrate spectrum to a level comparable to that acquired when focused within the thin polymer layer, closer to the textile substrate.

The conservation of rubberised textiles: Two case histories

The history, structure and manufacture of rubberised textiles, and the perception of rubber as a 'modern' material, are discussed, along with its main conservation problems. Two specific case histories are presented as examples of the variability of the condition problems associated with rubber, and possible treatment solutions. An 1890s rubberised wool raincoa t was received largely in good condition, and required rapid development of an oxygen-free storage system to stabilise it before any interventive support treatment could be implemented. The system was assessed and redesigned five years on. In contrast, a 1968 rubberised viscose flight bag is discussed; this was already severely degraded and required mainly interventive treatment to reshape and support.
