Ancient and modern paper characterization by FTIR and Micro-Raman spectroscopy
Archive and library materials are an important part of our national cultural heritage. In order to identify appropriate methods for the conservation and restoration of such materials, it is important to establish the current physical-chemical state of the artifact and how it can be influenced by th...
