Abstract Purpose – The study aims to synthesize chitosan nano polymers (CSNPs) using ion gelation and load them onto hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) polymer to form a CS/HPC nanocomposite to preserve dyed linen textiles. Design/methodology/approach – Several examination and analysis methods were used to study the properties of the prepared nanocomposite. For instance, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to measure ... إقراء المزيد

Treatment and conservation operations are considered the most important processes for preserving cultural heritage collections, in particular archaeological textiles. This re-search outlines the methods used for treating and preserving an ancient piece of linen tex-tile recovered from the Qusayr excavations in the Red Sea. The piece was cleaned using the traditional detergent “Orvus WA Paste surfac-tant”, and then, it was ... إقراء المزيد

Microorganisms are considered one of the most dangerous deterioration factors to cellulosic textiles, especially textiles made of linen fibers. Many of the traditional methods of resistance to microorganisms that infect textiles were used in the past, but they were of low effectiveness and high toxicity for those who applied these methods. The study used silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) prepared by the ... إقراء المزيد

Archaeological textiles are among the most sensitive organic collectibles exposed to damage factors, whether environmental factors such as heat and light or biological factors such as infection with microorganisms. This research aims to compare the results of exposure of raw and dyed linen textiles to natural aging factors, that have been simulated in the laboratory, in addition to biological aging ... إقراء المزيد

Archaeological linen textiles in uncontrolled museums are exposed to many different damage factors. It is noticed in some Egyptian Museums that the differences in temperature and use of inappropriate light bulbs are the most enemies of dyed historical textiles. This article presents interesting results about the effect thermal and light ageing on optical,chemical and mechanical characterization of dyed linen textiles. ... إقراء المزيد
